Your car doesn't have ignition wires. Each plug has a separate ignition coil.

The ignition coils rarely go bad and when they do it tends to be a hard failure with that cylinder missfiring. The boots that cover the plugs can go bad, especially if they get contaminated with oil from a valve cover leak.
