Not really. But any time you start pulling hoses, pulling plugs, and the like you stand the chance of "fixing" a poor connection, shorting plug wire, or the like. On the bright side, if you can get the problem to go away, even for just a short while, by effectively "fiddling" with stuff, then the problem is not a bad one... it just has to be found. It could all be as simple as a temperamental coil or plug wire that works fine when it's in one position, but is intermittently crappy in another. Back in the old days, if you just had plug wires 7 and 8 resting too close to one another on an FE you could get a misfire.
