Default 4x4 question and stalling question

I just picked up a 91 xj auto 4x4 limited. It seems to be in decent shape for what I paid. It seems to stall though. I found a vac line busted from the air box ,im thinking that could be it and also clean the idle air control valve? Any other thoughts on what to look for?

Also the 4 wheel drive seems to work great..i used the lever to disengauge it but it stayed in till I messed with it and tried to drive in reverse and forward? I got it back to two wheel but didnt wanna mess with it till I was sure its alright? U think possible linkage adjustment? I had a country xj a couple years ago that only had part time. This limited seems to have part and full time so I can use the full time in the moutains in icy conditions on the road correct?

Lastly im getting a antillock brake light coming up on the dash every once and a while. Any thoughts what to look for?

Other than that its a pretty nice rig esp for the 1k I got it for. My plan is to fix it up and dd it with my kids,off road here and there.

Stalling could be any number of things.

Since you just got it I would start with a tune up and then move forward.

I would also check for proper fuel pressure and GOOD spark when it stalls...if possible.
