Default 2004 Jeep Grand Cherokee chatter and shutoff after a few minutes of running.

Ok so my 04 Jeep Grand Cherokee has decided to throw in the towel. I was driving home from work the other day and the check gauge light came on. My voltage gauge was showing 9 volts then it just shut off and wouldn't start back. Jumped it and took it to get a new battery. While buying the battery I left it running and as we started to change the battery the radiator cracked. So I have changed that out and added more antifreeze, but now it will start and run fine for a few minutes then it starts to idle rough and when you give it gas it has a chatter sound then shortly after that it will shut off. Light smoke coming from near the oil cap and valve cover. Any ideas as to what this could be?
