No, a plug that's too cold for the application will just have a tendency to develop carbon deposits over time, which might cause misfiring ("jumpy engine") when they get real bad. New plugs that are too cold won't make a difference.

Anyway, you're probably not using cold plugs. NGK plugs have two numbers in their model # thingie: the -xx at the end is the gap they were designed for (-11 means 1.1mm, or .044 inch) and the other number is the heat range (5 is stock, a higher number is colder).
