nope, as long as your not spraying directly on any eletronics or something that could be destroyed by the actual carb cleaner.

Isn't carb cleaner flammable ? Can't the engine catch on fire from the carb cleaner?

it is flammable, as long as you have good wires and your spark plugs and coil are not arcing you will be fine, most of you vacuum hoses are not very close to those items.

Oh yeah, don't try and fire one up when you spray either.
