Even if Patton wanted a war with the Soviets (which I presume your are talking about), he had already been relieved of his post at Third Army at the time of his accident. Eisenhower certainly didn't want a war with them, nor did Truman.
So, no, his death didn't prevent a war and if he had lived, there wouldn't have been a war.
