Default need some help please

[align=left]I have a 1994, z28, v8, in auto. There are a few mods to the car including: cams, exaust, shift kit, and a recently rebuilt engine. I was driving along and all of a sudden the car dies on me. The night before I had replaced the water pump, the back rotors and all four break pads. I drove the car home from Joliet with absolutly no problems, but the next morning when I drove the car about a block or two from home it just crapped out on me. So far I have checked the fuel pump and got gasoline. After that I checked the Injectors which turned out to be fine. I just have no idea what to check next. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you,
Josh

you didnt drive it like a psyco path after the rebuild did ya?

and "crapped out" isn't a good way to explain that it died, how did it die? while braking ,while accel? were you at a stop ? any lights come on. noises??!?!?
how did you get it home?

Hey sorry for the lack of info it's my first time posting. On the way home from Joliet I held 90 and the car was doing fine. But as I was picking up my sister I did fish tail around the first corner I came to, but the car was still fine after that. The car died out about 5 minuets later. The car died when I was accelerating, and I only stopped once to let my sister in the car. After I tried some starter fluid to make sure it was not somthing simple like that the car was towed home.

You didn't by any chance wet up the Opti when you changed the water pump?
