The firing order would depend on which specific model and engine you have in your mirage. A complete list with diagrams can be found here:

first remove the bumper and remove the doom set then replace it

It depends on if you have the 1.5L engine or the 1.8L engine. The 1.5L engine has a crankshaft Position sensor located tothe right of the crankshaft pully on the front of the engine. On the 1.8L engine the sensor is located under the timing cover.

I have changed the crankshaft position sensor a few times and I tell you it is no easy task. It requires almost damn near pulling the motor out of the car. The sensor is located under the timing belt behind the underdrive pulley. This will require you to pull everything off the car on that side of the motor including the motor mount so have a jack with a piece of wood ready to support the motor.(First take off your battery cables) Once you remove all components the remove the timing cover, loosen the timing tension pully (be careful of the spring) try not to remove the timing belt or be ready to re-time it. you will see the crankshaft sensor down at the bottom behind the underdrive pulley. Its just two 10mm bolts that are not very easy to remove (be prepared to drop one and retrieve it). Unscrew the bolts and re-assemble everything (the hardest thing for me was tightining the timing pulley) This is the easiest way to do it short of pulling the motor completely out and removing the underdrive pulley which would require re-timing and special tools. I hope this helps.

yes. there are tension bolts that you have to loosen
look at each pully closely and look for a long bolt that goes to it.you will have to loosen the nut that goes to either the pulley or that goes right in front of the long bolt.some of these are reverse threads

Check you air filter and hook up a scan tool to see if you have a active code. Even if the check engine lamp is not on hook it to scan tool?
