It can, will **** air in and make the o2 sensor think car is running lean and computer richens fuel mixture,also with the leak, make sure plugwires are good and not brunt and misfiring,these engines have problems with injectors, they get clogged,a good fuel injector cleaning works 95% of the time, but done with fuel system machine, not putting a cleaner in gas tank, and last is to check fuel preasure regulator for leaking gas out of the vaccum port, start with these things first, good luck.

2006 Ford Mustang V6 4.0. It is throwing P0106 and P2195 codes.

you have addressed most of the things that cause these codes

https://www.google.com/search?q=2006+Ford+Mustang+P0106+and+P2195


MAP Sensor (as opposed to MAF)
P0106 Manifold Absolute Pressure/Barometric Pressure Circuit Range/Performance O2 Sensor P2195 O2 Sensor Signal Stuck Lean When the O2 sensor reports lean, it is dumping extra fuel which causes carbon fouling. This takes a while to burn off or you can use an 'Extreme Clean' type fuel system cleaner.

GMC Sierra Code P0300 Check engine light

GMC Sierra with the code P0300 Q: I have the 2003 GMC Sierra with the code P0300. What could be the problem? A: The code P0300 means "Random Cylinder Misfire". This means that the engine computer has detected that one or more of the cylinders misfire randomly. This code could take some time to diagnose, as there could be a wide range of reasons for the engine cylinders to misfire. Here are just a few examples: bad spark plugs, ignition wires, distributor cap/rotor, bad fuel injectors, bad airflow sensor, broken or weak valve spring, leaking valve, low fuel pressure, manifold gasket leak, clogged catalytic converter, etc. Take your truck to a knowledgeable mechanic and have it check out - driving with the misfiring engine can damage your catalytic converter.
The mechanic can scan the engine computer with the scan tool and see the conditions when the misfire happens and check which cylinders are misfiring. A number of of other things will need to be checked to find the cause (e.g vacuum leaks, exhaust back-pressure, compression, etc.).

Is it bad to drive my 2006 Malibu with blue smoke from tailpipe

That could be a sign of a blown head gasket check and make sure the car is not over heating if so that may be the case.

Po304

P0304 Code indicates a misfire on cylinder 4
Most likely causes for this are bad wire, bad spark plug, bad coil(s) or bad dist cap if so equiped.
A vacuum leak can also cause a misfire.
Seeing the vehicle is going on 13 years old replacing the wires and the plugs would be a good place to start, and could be the solution

Car keeps giving p0303 code.

Code P0303 means that there is a misfire detected on cylinder #3. This could becaused by anything from a worn out spark plug to a blown cylinder head gasket, a faulty fuel injector, a bad ignition coil, or a leaking intake manifold gasket. I have also seen this type of code caused by clogged-up EGR ports in the intake manifold on certain engines. "Freeze Frame Data" stored in your Engine computer along with the fault code is designed to help identify what engine conditions (high speed/slow speed, heavy load/light load, etc.) are producing the misfire. This helps a lot in identifying exactly what is causing the cylinder to misfire.

One way to eliminate some of the possible causes is to swap parts with another cylinder to see if the code changes.

If you have "Coil-On-Plug" ignition, you can swap the coil on #3 cylinder with the coil on #4 Cylinder and swap the #3 spark plug with the #2 spark plug. Then clear the codes and drive the car till the Check Engine (or Service Engine Soon) light comes back on.

If it still gives you P0303, then it is not being caused by the plug or the coil. It could be any of the other possible causes listed above.
If it now gives you P304, replace the bad ignition coil that is now on #4 cylinder.
If it now gives you P302, Then replacement of all the spark plugs is recommended.

2002 Saturn SL1 check engine light code P0303

replace the coil it is most likely bad. observe the engine at night or in a dark environment and proceed to use a spray bottle to lightly coat the coil pack for that cylinder number 3 and if you see an arc at the coil or any where else this will confirm a bad coil but even if you don't see any arcing it still may be a weak coil.
