I would try swapping it one more time, making sure to get a new one. If it yields the same results, maybe I would try it on a friends car to see if it does the same thing. If it does then we rule out other factors. If it works OK in a friends car then (have him keep it and you keep his LOL) but seriuosly, I would check my cap, rotor & wires.

Be sure to set the base timing once installed.

Good luck!

LMAO...

I had a friend that had a similar problem. Turns out he had the plug wires mixed up after he swore up and down they were right

Seriously though dude, relax. Legal action? Give me a f'in break.

Make sure you got it right and just have them swap it out for you. they sound like the reasonable ones, and you just need to take it easy.

LOL...Story of my life too. I fixed my idle by installing KL31 ECU and it ran like a dream...next day pulled a james bond and fired out the front of my car the crank pully. Oh the life of an mx-3 owner.
