Is it possible for a vbulletin modification to cause a "too many connections" error?

I am just wondering if this is possible with a product that has plugins that do not open any new connections.

Not directly, no.

However, if the plugin is poorly written or contains time consuming scripts (be they php or mysql issues) then it possible that a site which used to run smoothly suddenly starts to experience a too many connections problem because each process is now taking a lot longer than it used to.

Ok, good that is what I wanted to hear.

Unless you're opening more database connections (there's no need anyway), no.
