The engine just stalls while idling. The problem started after replacing a water pump on the car. If I start the engine it just runs for something like a minute and it stall on its own. My car is listed above (Familia model).
Help please.

When the engine stall can you turn the key off and then when you turn the key to the on position without cranking the engine over can you hear the fuel pump run in the tank for 5 seconds?
