Hi everyone, got a new one for you after changing the middle front ignition coil and turning on the engine white smoke started to come out from the top part the plastic really melted, it was one of those Duralast bought at autozone, I think some of the dielectric grease that I put in the boot got beetween the spring and the spark and cuased a short circuit, but I´m not sure and dont want to plug in the new exchange coil until I hear your suggestions.

Is a 2001 Nissan Maxima SE with 97k miles

Also, should I change them all, the front pack, or just that one? I noticed that the one from autozone is not the same manufacturer from Nissan and their computer says 3 required.
