My car's battery light and ABS light come on and then my car shuts off. I have changed the battery and the alternator, and it is still doing it.

Usually the engine stalls then these lights come on can you please confirm? It sounds like you have a vacuum leak, or the throttle body needs to be serviced. Let's go over these guides to get more information on the problem so we can fix it.
