No, as long as all the wires are good and properly routed.

if the car is misfiring it will be loping all the time, and getting horrible gas mileage. When I had a bad plug, the car would run really rough until it hit about 3500 rpm, and then it would seem to smooth out, probably only because the rpm's were high enough that you couldn't physically feel it. It doesn't really sound much different, it just sound like the car is...missing, it's really the only way to describe it.
