I would try unhooking the neg battery cable for a few minutes to reset the computer. Then take it for a drive and see if reseting the computer helps it.
It's possible that a new part is actually no good. I'd drive it for a couple of days, and let the computer relearn the data. Sometimes it can take a few driving cycles to smooth out after repairs/tuneups.
