Who did the water pump replacement? Replacing the water pump required the removal of the timing chain. If, during the removal and replacement of the timing chain, the camshaft sprockets were not doweled into place, they would need to be rotated to regain proper timing. If the crankshaft was not properly positioned when this was done, or was rotated too far or in the wrong direction, severe damage to the valves and pistons would have occurred. This would result in no compression and the vehicle not starting. I would pull the plugs and do a compression check before anything else. If the compression test fails, you need to pull the engine apart and prepare for some hefty expense for repairs.
