I had the water pump replaced and starter replaced. Since then it just lost power. I will drive it and it goes but I soon as it warms up it wont drive.

Welcome to 2CarPros.

When it warms up, is that when it has a power loss, or do you mean it shuts off? My biggest concern is that the timing belt had to be removed when the water pump was removed. They could have timing off or damaged the crankshaft position sensor. Is the check engine light staying on with the engine running?

Let me know.

It loses power then suddenly shuts off. I am going to get the crankshaft checked because we checked the timing belt and it was fine.

Welcome back:

In 1995, the manufacturer was changing from an OBD 1 to an OBD 2 diagnostic system. If you have the OBD 1, follow this link to identify what trouble codes are stored. It should help us.

If it is OBD 2, scan the computer to see if codes are stored. The crank sensor isn't the easiest to replace, and I would hate to see you replace it only to find it didn't resolve the issue. If you do have an OBD 2 scanner with live data, see if the RPM signal is lost when it begins to stall.

If you decide to replace it, here are the directions. The attached pic correlates with the directions.
