Not likely. A broken Camshaft would cause a car to not run at all, unless maybe it had 2 camshafts, then it might barely run and run loudly then quit. The most common reason for an engine to run roughly is neglect; too little maintenance or tune-ups, broken hoses, wires or sensors, dirty air filter or dirty fuel. .. lets not forget .. an engine jumping time.. if it will still run it would run rather rough
