You will have to go under the suv to access the two bolts for the starter. You will have to remove the intercooler first then the positeve battery lead. On top of the starter there is another positive lead to the solinoid you will have to do this to then go under the driver side and you will be able to access the starter. You will need a universal extension to do the job easier. Hope this helps

sounds like the vehicle speed sensor is broken

does the engine run smoothly or do you detect a slight miss in it..if air is getting in to the cooling system its normally a blown head gasket..or cracked housing somewhere..

I assume your heater setting is electric control, if so either your defrost and floor heat switch failed or wire problem. For the air not hot, check the heat control valve on the top of the hose it should be in front of the firewall. I don't know your car is using mechanic valve or electric control valve. Anyway check there first. Good luck.

they are calibrated from the factory but if u have not disconnected the batter do that and leave disconnected for 30 mins then reconnect and computer will retrain itself to your driving patterns

have a pressure test done on the fuel manifold as your problem may have been the regulator in the manifold.

The O2 sensor is mounted to the exhaust; you'll need to get under the truck (jack-stand please) to locate. If it sits where a 89-92 sits it will be in the exhaust under the passenger side. Follow the wiring, on most it carries over the transmission to a wiring block under the driver's sie of the truck (again this is all under the truck) As for the low idle I do not believe there is anything to be change. If the idle is low it is due to other conditions... injectors, sensor, low compression, timing or such.
I hope this may have helped,
