Thats because you don't have any... Starting in 99, they did away with plug wires... now you have COP's Coil Over Plugs...
Your plug is underneith the coils... there is 4 on each side of the block, on the very top right on the top side of the valve cover. Easy way to look to is check out your chrome fuel rail.. they will be right there....

The COP's arn't cheap either.

The cheapest I have found are from JEG's at $25 EACH, most places want $30-35 EACH X 8 of them.

I just got a set of new COP's from JEG's for $25 each and I have to put them on.

When should they be changed? Or how do you know if they need to be?

The factory recommended interval is 100k miles, however at 85k it would not hurt anything. I am an **** retentive nut case, so I replaced mine at 50k miles...
