Default spark plug installation, car won't turn on now.

My cousin and I just installed some new spark plugs on my 98 Gs400 and now the car won't start. The lights in the inside of the car are very dim. We checked the battery at autozone and it looks to be a god battery.

Anyone have any ideas?

They made a sacrafice to the Lexus God and he was pleased...he said, "Let the engine run!" and it ran.

His next commandment was, "go out and spread the word that I am the one true auto maker."

Battery Terminal was corroded. Simple fix with a little coke and more tightening.

Not the same person. Just cousins sharing a net connection.
