It can but usually it will just cause a severe drop in power. Try to run some injector cleaner through your gas tank to see if that corrects the problem. Yu can purchase a good quality such as STP or something like it at any auto parts store for a few bucks. That is where I would start. Usually if its a bad plug or wires you will get a code liight.
