Default engine dies at idle

Hi,

I recently bought a 1999 Cherokee Classic 4.0 and I today I replaced the water pump. I took it for a spin after and everything was fine until I slowed down and the engine sounded a little rough. And when I pulled up to the curb at my house to throw it in park it died at idle. Could the belt be too loose? Any ideas?

Thanks in advance,

Spencer

Did it start right back up?
