bottom rear of engine on the passenger side, the starter is serviced from under the car. it is held to the engine block with two bolts, then u must remove the battery cable and starter solenoid wiring as well, always disconnect the battery before doing any work on the starter.

Probably the CV joint. When you put it in 4x4 that puts extra torque on it so it wont vibrate so much.

2002 GMC Sonoma replace starter.

Not an easy job due to the space being tight. You need a jack, a set of axle stands, a socket set and a set of wrenches.

Will an engine from a 1994 GMC Sonoma Rear Wheel Drive swap with a 1994 GMC Sonoma 4 Wheel Drive?

Edited the question for clarity and the correct name of the model!

It is worth a try. Back of the engine to the transmission should be the same. Others have done engine swaps in the link.

1996 gmc sonoma

Purchase a timing light and check your engine time against the front pulley and the timing scale located around your timing chain cover. If you have recently had your timing belt or chain replaced you could be a tooth off.
With regard to your ABS light the easiest thing to check or replace is the speed sensor on the wheel. Because this is a magnetic pick-up sensor and due to the location (on the wheel behind the rotor) can be susceptible to corrosion. That is also the most common cause of an illuminated ABS light. Do you have 4 or 2 wheel anti lock? The 4 wheel abs doesn't change what could be wrong, it just means you have more speed sensors to check.
