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?

So I got the right mechanic this time? Rite?
Nothin to worry abt? It's gonna be done rite this time?

And mkernz22:

I know, but the problem I have is
1. I lack confidence in my capabilities when it comes to my own car, every other car, I can do anything lol
2. My neighborhood doesnt like me working on my car and everytime they see me with a tool outside I ge letters and sh**
3. I need it done fast, can't afford to take my time.


But yea eventually Ill grow over my fear and finally doing my own work on my car. Eventually.
