That's extremely unusual to have 2 replacment parts in a row not work. If I were you, I'd start looking elsewhere for the problem, such as UVC harness. Or even get a diagnostic to look for trouble codes.

Based on what I see, you have a CPS issue. Replacing the new one with the old one and it works better indicates that. The old one is probably also on it's last legs. Also, make sure to check the wiring harness and connections.

definatly check that plug closely any corrosion in there can and will cause problems. I would also clean it real good, those connections are pretty small and it doesn't take much to make a bad connection.
