I second the idea of checking all the plug wires into the Opti and coil since they were working in that area with the water pump. Typically if the water pump goes it takes the Opti with it, but you did mention it was running when brought in. Another possibility is if they weren't careful removing the water pump and draining the antifreeze, the Opti might have got wet.

Expect to spend 2 hours on it.
It's not a cheap part to replace, I'd check the coil and plug wires first.
