Take it back to whoever did the install and have re work it. Make sure everything got hooked up correctly.

I took it to the Garden City Mazda . Mind you my car has been there since April 23rd. Plus before they replaced my engine they charged me 1062$ to change my spark plugs, spark plug wires, battery and coils. Ridiculous !

And the only reason I paid it was because when I told them the price was outrageous, and I'll take my car somewhere else. They told me I would have to pay a 260$ Diagnostic fee. Plus 50$ everyday the car was there, and towing fees to get it back to my house...

So tomorrow unfortunately I'm going back there for them to take a look at it.
