Did you pay someone or shop to do the work? Then it should go back, for a redo. Did they clean the Tank, and install a in line fuel filter?
Sounds like a plugged pilot circuit, or possibly a vacuum leak. You could check the hoses hooked to the car manifolds, and the manifolds for vacuum leaks.
Oh welcome to KZR, lots of good info here.

Good, did you install a good in line filter, and clean the tank?
