No. "Cooler" plugs means they are designed to transfer more heat from the parts of the plug in the combustion chamber to the head. "Hotter" plugs transfer less heat to the head, reducing the tendency to foul.

Certain power adder applications need cooler plugs to avoid detonation and increase electrode life.
