I was given the wrong CTS from a parts store once...made the car run rough as hell (ECM was reading it as temp at bottom limit, full rich)

Never assume the part is not the problem...especially if you just installed it and then had problems.

my favorite saying is "If I had a nickel for every customer who ever said "It can't be [insert part name], because I just had it replaced.."

That was the first thing I checked, and 90% of the time, that was the problem...
