i had put new wires and plugs on my 4.0 and i tried starting it and it made a loud noise and the battery was dead, i then found that i wired the plugs wrong, so i re wired according to my manual and then i tried to start it and i found that the battery was completely dead, the next day(today) i cleaned the terminals and it started with help from a charger, i drove it around to charge it then i shut ir off and made an odd noise and it wouldnt start, tried jumping it and it wouldnt start either, is this a wiring problem or do i need a new battery?
