Paul,


Check for any electrical connections which might have been undone
intentionally or by accident while replacing the water pump.  In the heat of battle the
mechanic might have disconnected some vital item.  I've seen this happen more
times than I can remember.  The worst example was when my mother-in-law had a
replacement engine installed and the mechanic forgot to install the throttle
return spring.  Damn near killed her in the 5 miles from the shop to her home.
