Some minor issues with 01 Explorer. Please help solve...

[Lamb-Of-God]

2001 Ford Explorer Sport 4.0L V6 112k​

1: Driver side door locks,but doesn't unlock even when using the key.
I have to climb in passanger side,and pull handle to unlock it.

2: Low idle: On cold start 1,100rpm's after driving it runs 500-600rpms@ idle when shifted to park it wants to stall out,but usually doesn't.
**I do believe this to be the IAC,and will try cleaning/swapping new part.**

3: This one worries me a little bit. Every so often after a short trip when I try to restart the car it struggles a little bit to start up. It cranks fine,but definantly takes a little longer to finally roll over. Even a friend said it sounded bad when I cranked it one time - could this also be related to the IAC ?.

I'm not too worried about the first 2 Q's,but the 3rd issue is something that im very unsure about and a little worried could be a minor problem now,but a big problem starting it up later for work.

Most likely one or more of the little plastic clips that hold the various lock operating rods together inside the door has broken. You will have to pull the door panel off and look inside. At least some of the clips are yellow so they are easy to see. Good luck.
