Welcome back:
No, that shouldn't cause a problem. Most times, it is either a fuel or ignition spark related issue. You need to check to see if you have both. If you do, then we need to look at timing.
Take a look through this link:

Special tools required:
- 13 5 220
- 13 5 221
- 13 5 222

Important!
Do not under any circumstances screw in the check valve up to the mechanical stop.
This could damage the valve in the pressure regulator housing.

Mount special tool kit 13 5 220 to injection tube and tighten knurled nut hand-tight.
Screw out check valve (1) so that valve in pressure regulator housing is closed.
Start engine.
Screw in check valve (1) until a pressure reading is indicated on DIS Tester.

Measuring fuel pressure.
- Select Measurement.
- Multimeter function appears
- Select Pressure test
- Read off value of fuel pressure.
Compare actual value of test pressure with specified value .
Switch off engine.

Note:
Removing special tool kit 13 5 220:
- Switch off engine
- Screw out check valve fully again.
- Remove special tool kit 13 5 220 from pressure regulator housing.

I just realized this is for a different vehicle. If you have further questions related to it, I need you to start a new thread. We are trying to keep them specific to one car and problem so it helps others. I'm sorry about that.
Regardless, in the next thread you start, make sure to indicate if you checked these things and what was found.
Take care,
Joe
