this engine should have a coil on plug design, you may have to remove a plastic cover to see the top of the coils, they will have to be removed to get to the spark plugs under them, the plug wire or boot will be attached to the under side of the coil

I am familiar with the coil/boot design, been working on cars all my life and have never seen one where I couldnt find the plugs, this one is a mystery to me....no visible signs of any coils, boots or plugs. I removed the cover from atop the engine, removed the heat sheild from lower right side thinking they may be in between the exhast manifold ports. on the left side of the engine there is a plenum, looks like the injectors are there, nothing like coils or plugs, wires under there either...those koreans really know how to hide things I guess.

Hey thanks for the help, I finally found where their hidden at, you have to take it all off the top of the engine and I mean all except for the plenum or intake manifold. you have to remove the throttle cable assembly, air induction and some sort of filter assembly. then you will find a plastic cover with 6 screws holding to the engine, looks just like part of the valve covers. under this you will find 2 coils that you have to remove and get at the plugs which screw in at least 4 to 5 inches down a hole...4 holes. omg!! never seen anything like this set up. will take you around an hour to change out 4 spark plugs!!
