The spark pulgs are located in the center of the engine valve cover, underneath the large black coil assembly marked with the EcoTech logo . The coil assembly has four 10mm bolts holing it down. some have a tube slightly over the cover. These will need the support bolt at the drivers side of the cylinder head removed to get the tubing to move out of the way so the coil can be removed and then the spark plugs can be replaced. dont forget to unplug the coil assembly.

SOURCE: what are the AC delco spark plug compatible with

They will work, but you will get better service out of using Saturn's brands, as far as mileage; however, I would consider plug wires with this job. and use the high temp never seize to put on the threads of the new plugs, and make sure that the engine is cold when attempting to remove these plugs since it is easy to wipe out the threads in aluminum heads.

SOURCE: 2003 saturn ion 1 spark plug hole is stripped

I recommend you have this repaired by a mechanic as they have special tools that can assist in making the repair. You can get what is called a Boss repair kit from Auto Zone that you can use to make the repair yourself however it's not the simplest repair and in an engine that new it is most likely aluminum which means it will be very easy to damage beyond repair if you aren't careful.

How do i test a coil pack on a 2003 Saturn ION 2.2 L engine?

Its not the safest way but, you take a long screw driver and stick it in to each spark plug boot(one at a time) and hold the metal shaft of the driver about 1/4 inch away from the engine block and have someone turn the motor over. Then, all you do is look for the spark. If you dont see it, the plug isnt getting spark.

The spark plugs are recessed in the valve cover. If you remove the spark plug wires and look down in the hole that the wires came from, the plugs will be in there.

Spark plug replacement

Plugs are under the coil pack. The black rectangle on top of the valve cover. Remove the plug on the drivers side, and remove the 4, 10mm bolts. Lift up the coil straight up. Will be fairly tough, and your plug wells are in there.
