Maintenance & Repairs - December 2006

My check engine light came on a couple days ago and I'm wondering what could be wrong.
The temperature gage reads normal
All the fluids are good (brake, power steering, coolant, oil, washer)
The belts are tight
Everything sounds the same when it runs
The car performs the same as it allways has
Does anyone have any Ideas? I'm more of a do-it-yourselfer, so I'm not looking for everyone to tell me to take it to a registered service provider. Thanks for your help!

I have an '86 Ranger with a 2.3L EFI and it's running lean due to a vacuum leak. I've already checked all the intake gaskets and sealed them with RTV but it still runs to lean. Could it possibly be the vacuum lines?

I am NOT very mechanically inclined and NOT at all handy. I only have a few tools (screwdriver). I don't want to risk getting acid on my or ruining my clothes.

If I remove a battery, I'm afraid I won't be able to get it back in. The battery is dead, I think.

I need a new compressor. It will primarily be running a paint gun that operates around 5 CFM. If I buy a compressor at 6-7 CFM, will that be enough ? Will a 26-30 gallon tank be enough, or does only the CFM come into play ?

A friend of mine has a car that is leaking antifreeze/coolant. He stopped to buy antifreeze at a gas station last night and was appalled to find that it cost $12.50 a bottle. He bought a bottle of windshield wiper fluid instead. He hasn't used the wiper fluid yet but that seems like a very bad idea to me!!! Is it safe to use wiper fluid as antifreeze?

Are there cheaper alternatives to antifreeze? Since the car is leaking so much, I also worry about animals licking it up.

FYI It's an old car with a lot of problems. He plans to replace it in the next few weeks, if it lasts that long.

Thank you for your time,
Ann

I've already replaced the fuel pump and the fuel filter. I think it might be the fuel pressure regulator. But after i start going for a minute my car is perfectly fine.
