Impossible to answer without knowing the exact model, but generally you need to know that these panels are held in place by plastic "pins" (I don't know the correct term) that fit into holes in the door chassis You just essentially get started at one point and keep moving. It is imperative, though, that if anything will prohibit the panel from pulling away completely, you must make certain you've removed it first - like an ashtray or an armrest, etc. Otherwise, you'll be left with an almost removed door panel hanging by whatever it is preventing it from freeing up. Take your time on this and be very gentle, lest you break one or more of the pins.

check for front axle broken CV joint - either inner OR outer. Shaft may spin inside boot.

I'm afraid adjusting the bands on an automatic isn't a home mechanics job. No movement at all is more than just band adjustment. It sounds more like no fluid or no fluid pressure. Did you check the transmission fluid level? Remember to check it when the car is running with a cleaned off dipstick. Also, there is a screw on filter on the outside of the transmission that changes very easily, just like an oil filter. If that has never been changed on your '96 it may well be clogged, restricting or halting the fluid flow. If you change it, remember to top off the fluid in the transmission after.

your looking at a rebuild at that pressure blown rings or burnt out valves either way engine needs to be torn down and rebuilt or drop in another engine

You may have a short or open condition in the wire/cable connecting the two. Especially the ground connection, if it gets disconnected, the the main signal wire will pick up every stray electric/electronic noise near the wire.

There are these things called fusible links, that may be your problem. What year is your vehicle?

if its firing 180 out you need to make sure when you set the timing its on the compression . when the piston is at the very top of the stroke The first one is the Intake stroke, the piston moves down the cylinder while the intake valve is open. Once the piston reaches the bottom of the intake stroke the intake valve closes. The next stroke is the Compression stroke, during this stroke all valves are closed and the piston moves back to the top of the cylinder compressing the air fuel mixture. Once the piston reaches the top you are starting the ignition stroke. With the piston at the top the spark plug fires igniting the compressed air fuel mixture forcing the piston back to the bottom of the cylinder. Once it reaches the bottom you begin the Exhaust stroke. The exhaust valves opens allowing the piston to rotate back to the top pushing out the burnt gases.
