I'm going to say yes. A friend of mine and I just replaced the coolant tank on my 911. Coolant leaked on my coils from the cracked tank. CEL said P0301, which is cylinder one. We inspected the coils and found some cracks. I reset the CEL, we ate, pulled the rubber boot, let the coils dry out and it runs fine. The coil will still need replaced.

You should be getting a CEL if your having a misfire.
