Should one loose spark plug be replaced/could it cause misfire?

Question:
I just replace the spark plugs and wires on my car. It drove great for a few day then it started to run rough. I checked all the plugs and had one that was loose. I re tightened it but it still runs rough. Could it being loose have fouled this one plug? Should I replace it? Or am I looking at another problem?

I had a similar problem with my Camaro and it ended up being a broken sparkplug wire. I replaced it now everything is great. Also, look and see if your wire melted to the engine and is misfiring. Check for solid connections too. Take out the sparkplug and see if it is Black or Charred or charred at other places.

if it's the only loose plug - go ahead and replace it making sure it's gappe right ! snug it hand tight - when putting on the wire listen for a slight click that will let you know it's on all the way. if it still runs weird you may need to adjust your timing.
