check the timing belt /chain as the shut down after noise was probably when the belt broke and the noise from the pistons hitting the valves.

It sounds like there must be a short circuit some were. Try removing one fuse at a time to see if the problem rectifies its self if not replace it & try removing the next one. this should isolate were the problem is.

Car jerks sometimes while driving down the road also in the morning time acts like it wants to driving down the road.

Time to have the timing/tuning checked up. The fault is relative to a cold engine and can be due to poor fuel flow/delivery or poor electrics.
So the check up for replacement of suspected components like plug, filter, coil , HT wires fuel pressure must be made.

S Belt on Pontiac Grand Prix

If your belt was not properly routed it could be the issue. About 30 miles driving would be enough time to drain the battery, and your problem may very well be related to a improperly routed belt.

the timing belt should be changed every 60,000 miles.
your engine is an interference engine, which means if the timing belt breaks or skips, the valves will hit the pistons.
if your belt broke you will have bent valves. so the heads will need to come off and bent valves replaced.
