Where are the spark plugs on a 2000 Tauraus SEL 24v DOHC?
I'm not too familiar with this particular motor, but Ford has been going heavily towards COP (Coil on Plug) Ignition for a while. That means no no coil pack, and no spark plug wires. An individual Ignition Coil on top of each spark plug, with normal type of wires going to them. As far as location, engines with 4 valves per cylinder pretty much need to have the spark plugs in the middle of the valves to fit, so they're not down on the side like most OHV and even SOHC engines. Basically, if you were standing in front of the bumper, the plugs on that side of the engine would be pointing straight at you, but under the coils, and very possibly under some sort of a cover too.
Another thing to consider before you try to do it yourself, is that the plugs are deeply recessed. You should have some compressed air available to blow any debris out of the spark plug wells before you take the plugs out, or crap will fall into your combustion chamber. You definitely want to avoid that. And I'm pretty sure those are gonna be Aluminum heads, so you want to make sure the engine is cool, so you don't strip the threads. And even then, they can be quite delicate, and can require a lot of skill and patience to get out without damage. And that's even if the plugs don't break. All in all, and I hope you don't take this personally, but I wouldn't recommend it for a guy who needs help even finding them.
The PCV Valve on the other hand, is pretty easy. It's right here;

try to follow the plug wires you change them just like any other spark plug and just buy a pcv and they are most offen in valve cover just pulls out easy to replaceWhere are the spark plugs on a 2000 Tauraus SEL 24v DOHC?
There is probably a decorative plastic cover over the top of the engine. They usually just pull off but some are bolted into place. Once that is out of the why you will see the wires. The PVC valve can be challenging to find. It will be in the valve cover at the end of a thick hose.
