I just changed the valve covers and gaskets (04 version) on my 02 maxima. Other than a sore back and a dozen scratches on my hands and wrists, it went pretty well. The problem is that I have a plug up front and I don't know where it belongs. As you are looking at the engine, it's up front and just to the right of the 4 other plugs which are L to R light blue, green, dark blue, green. There is what looks like a holder for it, but no place to plug it in. Could it be something used for diagnostics?

 

i feel like this is one of those situations where a picture is really worth a thousand words...

 

DUDE. It's the thing right next to the thing that has a thing for it. Can't miss it.
BTW the car runs fine and has no codes for the past 1k.

 

Ahh that thing lol

 

The front of the motor there should be 3 plugs for the o2 sensors. Don't recall the 4th one.

 

I have a picture, but can't seem to attach it.

 

The 4th one is the crank position sensor. I have 02 and recently did valve covers, but I am a visual person. Unless I see it , I can't help you OP.

 

it could be the plug for the front motor mount which is electrical !!! they might have put one that has no plug

 

You might have something there I did have the motor mount changed to a non-electrical type. I'm trying to attach the photo, but my photo bucket account is not working due to inactivity. the picture is there but I can't get the IMG.

 

I did mine also none electrical motor mount and it does not have nothing pluged in it
