I doubt it. I know the 03's have the p0300 or something code. I get it every few weeks. Always comes on if I've been driving at a constant speed for some time (like an hour or more). Changing plugs never did anything for me. I just erase the code and move on with life... BTW, I'm not expert, so I could be wrong.

I wasn't aware that this issue was effecting the 9s though.

Why not just change it and find out? It takes 20 mins and costs around 10 bucks for copper plugs.
