Engine Performance problem

My 1996 300 diesel just died out on the road with no warning. I recently replace the fuel filter and gas lines. After waiting 2 minutes and replacing the ignition key the engine started up like new and I drove homes. Also,when it died the ABS light came on as well as the ETS.
