Rough ride.. I just replaced the water pump,drove it to the gas station and when i started it,it drove like it needed new spark plugs.does that just happen out of no where?

When you squirt water on plug wires and the car stalls, that means that your plug wires are bad. PLUG WIRES (not rotor, cap, or any sensor).
Replace your spark plug wires with new, and you should be fine.

Good question. All you can do is hook a line up to the fuel rail to get some gas so you can inspect it. If the gas looks ok they you probably have either a fuel pump problem or ignition problem.

Check or replace all your fuel filters. Check for water in your fuel. Drain your tank and replace with 93 octane fuel. Also check your spark plugs.

Check fuel pressure and for sparks

hello firstly the cause of the loss of power and missing this is down to the timing belt it may need to be replaced and set this would cause loss of power ,check your plugs and set them with the proper feeler gauge hope this helps

It seems to me youre being taken for a ride, if the problem started when you drove over the water puddle then that means that some water go into a key component somehow, perhaps the fuel tank itself or an electrical component. I would stay away from that shop and try to replace the fuel in your vehicle, if its possible for you. also try to take it to autozone if you can, they wil plug the scanner to your vehicle and tell you why the engine light is on for FREE! Good Luck.

Recheck that the spark plug firing order or in other words the spark plug wires are in the proper order after that checks out ok, then run dry gas in the car and check all vacuum hoses there may be a vacuum leak somewhere.

with mine it was the water pump but i also had a small leak i one of the heater hoses my water pump wasn't out completely but enough to make it overheat while idling

chek sparking plugs they maybe covered with dirt .

try adding some HEET to it it is a gas line antifreeze product which also takes care of water in the gas other then that you may need a fuel pump which will require a towe
