Default would a loose plug wire cause a cel?

Last night my wife and I were in her 91 integ.(I know it's not eg+, but...) and she got a cel. we pulled over and the car wouldn't keep an idle. I drove it the rest of the way and at stop lights I had to keep my foot a little bit on the gas. I pulled all the plugs and looked at them, they were fine. Now, this was at midnight, so I just figured I'd wait till morning and try driving/working on it again. This morning I started it up and drove it for 30 mins. around town, no cel. Now, could a loose plugwire cause a cel, thanks!

Did you check to see what CEL you got?

Look at the actual ECU led, you will see how many times it blinks.

short blink = 1
long blink = 10

example: two long blinks and 1 short blink = 21.

This may cause confusion, the long blinks will be first, and the short blinks will follow. Man B, do I have to follow you around and make sure you aren't confusiing these guys?
