Ahhhh...are you talking about the 3.4 camaro or the 5.7 camaro? You can't give it much gas without it doing what? Stalling? So you bought a new water pump for which car and what sensor ? I'm trying to decipher what you're talking about so I can help.

If you replaced the water pump and coolant temp. sensor I would check to make sure if you unplugged anything else. Sounds like a MAF issue possibly. Check all your basics first - spark, fuel, grounds, connections.-

You already checked to make sure you have good fuel pressure, good spark, all grounds are tight and connected? Damn, your fast! Don't cheat yourself, it's probably a coincidental problem that happened while the water pump went. Many of us have had the same things happen and we thought it was related to what we fixed/added/modded.
