I have a mazda mx3 1.8 v6 24v. I have a problem with my engine can not stand idle when it is hot and I just got switched to a new engine and it still has the same problem, so it must be something electronic, but I can not figure out what it is.
is there anyone who can help me?

Check the accordion tube in the intake for leaks, and after that, you'll more than likely wind up with a new distributor.
issues when hot -> distributor.

What parts were with the old engine that your using with the new engine? If your reusing parts like the intake accordion tube as Ryan says it could be cracked so check it.

If your engine has an EGR that cold be that problem. You could try SeaFoam in your engine and if that helps it's probably the EGR.
