There is a decorative cover with "2.4L Quad" on it, it has 4 bolts, upper left, upper right, lower left, lower right. Remove these 4 bolts and lift up. You may need to rock it back and forth so the boots release from the plugs. Once you have it off it will look like a V. The plugs are down at the bottom.
You don't have wires. Our engine uses spark plug boots.

Suggested Repair
Remove the decorative cover marked 2.4L Quad by taking out the four bolts at the upper left, upper right, lower left, and lower right. Lift and rock the cover so the boots release from the plugs. The plugs are at the bottom of the V-shaped opening. This engine uses spark plug boots rather than spark plug wires.
