Default Jeep wont start need help! Asap!

so we put a 3 inch lifter on a 92 jeep Cherokee a couple days ago. we ended up breaking a fuel/air sensor and the check engine light came on we replaced the sensor and the check engine light went away. now my buddy was driving home from work 30 min. away from home and came to a stop the check abs light came on the jeep died and now it wont start back up. what do i need to check/ replace to get it started and driving down the road to at lease get it home so i can work on it. please help thank you.

If you had a check engine light, you should have a stored code. Pull the code as they provide very important clues. For a 92, you can do it with the "key-on, key-off" technique.

Here is a link to that procedure:
