spark plug wire issue, How/why did this happen rite after replacing the wire? Options

[Malhar95]

today i replaced my sparkplug wires (bosch replacement)at the autozone parking lot. i drove it back home, about half a mile away. 3 things:

1. car was alot smoother at first.

2. i floored it, shifted smooth from 1-2, then kinda took long to shift from 2nd to 3rd at ~65mph.(its auto)

3. stoped it in front of my house, i felt asif its idling weird (my friend who was at the passenger seat said he didnt notice anything.)
so i popped the hood, felt asif a wires loose, so i pulled it out and the car naturally shut off immediately. made sure all the connections were fine then tried to start it again, and my battery was too weak to start the car..

now im waiting for my brother to come for a jump.


my question is:

the battery dying, is that a coincidence, or related to replacing the wires. could i have messed anything up or not done it rite?

ive done it before so its not like i dont know how to replace wires, pretty simple but can somebody tell the process again so i can make sure im not stupid?

old wires were core so they're gone.


anyways, today this guy checked it out, and here are the problem(s):

timing belt was loose and hitting something under the cover so it was damaged and if i kept driving it, eventually snapped.
noise wasnt 'loud' enough to be bearings, "definitively timing."


other stuff was also found wrong:

cable bad, motor mounts,bolts missing here and there.



so now for 250 plus parts, im getting all that fixed. hopefully done rite this time.

the only thing i cant understand why the noise started coming after the wire replacement.
is it a coincidence or they're related?
