Can wrong spark plugs cause hot runing?

As above.

My car has always ran a bit hot and i've replaced everything.

The last thing now is the spark plugs.

I have some Denso P8 plugs at the moment.

no, plugs cannot, however incorrect ignition timing, fuel air ratio, coolant/antifreez ratio , worn engine can all cause hi temps as can blocked cooling systems, faulty rad caps etc

its a mine field but keep looking for it

Well the rad, intercooler, hoses, engine are all new and the coolant is Ford on a 50/50 mix, it also has a new rad cap.

It does however have a new engine management system which has not been mapped yet.
So perhaps its the ignition timing.

At least i don't nee to buy new plugs.
