Need suggestions please - car won't crank up

I have a 89 Saab Turbo 16V 2.0L. The power steering liquid had been leaking profusely so my father and I replaced the power steering pump, hoses, and rack. After we were done with the repairs, I drove the car to the parts store to return a part core, and on the way back home my Saab just cuts off in the middle of the highway. This was very unusual, because it had never done anything like this before. I tried to crank the car back up but to no avail. It turns over fine, but it will very rarely fire up. When it does fire up you have to push the gas pedal nearly to floor for the car to move at all, and even then gains speed very sluggishly. We replaced the fuel filter but that did not help. While we were doing the power steering system repairs we had the car jacked up towards the front of the car with the back wheels resting on the ground (I'm not sure if that matters or not). We also washed the bottom of the engine. This seems like it could be so many little things. What could be causing my car to act this way? Thanks for any suggestions.
