'97 850 Sedan 170K

I picked it up "sight-on-seen" last night for 1500. Nice car very well kept.

Some know issues that I need help running to the ground:

1- Check Engine Light is on. I plan on going to the local auto parts store and first reading the code(s) and then reseting and see what happens. Where is the connector?

2- The Heat when the car is first started smells immediatly like exhaust

3- Then after it warms up it smell like coolant or dirty pvc system

4- The Electronic Temperature Selector does not change the direction of air flow except if it is placed on defrost. Then most of the air flow appears to flow from the defrost. But in all other postions it seem split between them all.

5- The heater fan when running on low rpm sounds like a squeaky squirrel cage

6- I only got one key and no FOB. Is their an "AutoStart" available that will also control the Locks? Otherwise if I opt to go with an AutoStart, I wind up with two FOB's on the keychain....
