Take negative battery off while its running, if it shuts down it is ur alternator it isnt holding a charge. take it off n have it checked at auto part store for free.

Starters, alternators and radios will drain the batteries the fastest

If not the alternater is incorrectly connected or the globe is blown . It will not charge if the globe is faulty.

1995 Jeep Wrangler 2.5 4cyl spits and sputters while driving

if you have an electric fuel pump that would explain the hum. unhook your incoming fuel line and blow the line clear, sounds like you've got some junk in your tank.it'll build up on the screen in the tank then fall off (at least partially) when your making turns or hitting bumps or holes. next time it's only got a gallon or so of fuel i'd drop the tank and check the pickup tube inside. sux but that's the only way to get to it. while you've got the tank off and out from under the jeep, might as well clean it out real good and replace anything inside (usually the screen) that doesn't look right, dirty etc. wouldn't hurt to run a bottle of fuel system cleaner in the next full tank of fuel either. preferably as soon as you put your tank back. good luck

Turn over no start

On MY jeep, the Security Lockdown system kicked in, and it would not start at all, until I put the key in the door, and locked and unlocked it 5 times. I felt stupid, but it worked! A guy at the dealership told me, b/c he owed me a favor. He said usually it is a wrecker call!
