Not necessarily. It may have set a trap. What were consequences of, for example, a partially removed pipe? You would have to replace an entire exhaust manifold and catalytic converter that cannot be removed.

You may have outsmarted a car that had laid a trap.

However, just as fun is getting into that mess. And then discovering how to solve it. Either you outsmarted a car. Or you just missed out on having fun. Either way, you did not lose. Only and maybe did not win.

A simplest ‘shotgun’ solution is replacing an oxygen sensor. Soaking in WD-40 for at least 24 hours may be helpful.
