Those at the front are for the 3 fuel injectors and those at the back are the 3 ignition coils for the rear cylinder bank.

Nissan Maxima Door OK so the connector plugs arent impossible to get off just extremely difficult it can be done with 2 screwdrivers and involves pushing the green centre down against its springs and while holding it pushing sideways on a little arrowshaped tag in the centre of the sliding section.

Pull it out push the new one in and do up the bolt. 1997 Nissan Maxima Part. The connector goes on easier than it comes off. 2007 Nissan Maxima. The front coils and their connectors are underneath a grey plastic cover on the front of the engine.
