HELLO if you look under the hood, you will see a BLACk cover under a big black rubber hose..this is part of the VALVE COVER..this black cover has 6 bolts and has to come off..its alot of work to take everything off..under this black cover are 2 COILS with 2 spark plugs under them. DO NOT REMOVE the plugs with a HOt car..this car has aluminum heads and you will strip the plugs..I cannot even get mine out!
The other 2 wires can be more easily seen and have a black boot on them..under the 2 black rubber boots are the other 2 spark plugs..
Lots of Kia sportages misfire and skip and the check engine lite will come on..usually its a bad wire or plug..very common in these cars..also, if the VALVE cover gasket LEAKS at all, oil will get into the boots or wires or plugs and cause the car to skip and idle rough or MISFIRE..
GOOD luck..you can email me..I have pics to send you;

When changing the spark plugs for the first time it is important to have a diagram. A spark plug diagram of a 2003 Land Rover Discovery can be found in its maintenance manual.
