Engine Light Always on?

I've got two new problems... The previous owner must have been a dumb *** with this car...Just problem after problem.
First problem: I was feeling spirited and decided to go 100MPH down the highway. I guess the electronic "speed limiter" was activated at some point, as the engine light went on after I did this. The next morning the engine light is still on.... It drives fine and everything, but it still isn't turning off and it's starting to aggravate me. What went wrong here? How can I fix it?
Second: Occasionally when I start up the car and put it into (D), the background on all the drive gears go red, and i'm not able to change into Sport mode, or manual shift mode. The instruction literature says that means there is a transmission malfunction, but the thing is, it only does this sometimes -about 40% of the time.

The code said the fuel mixture was lean. (probably due to bad fuel/fouled fuel injectors).

Some history of this car RIGHT after I purchased it from the previous owner:
Radio didn't work
Disintegrated head gasket
Vibrating/bent front axle
Front lower grill was almost destroyed
2 injectors where replaced after I bought it- apparently the other two weren't good in the first place.
Just drop the falsely sarcastic comments.

I'm going to have to run the new fuel through it with this solution and hopefully it will go off. It hasn't come off yet, I just need to drive this around.
