Electrical problem
1998 Mercury Tracer Automatic

What else would cause the car to only go 20mph after the ignition coil has been replaced. Thanks in advance

Was it doing that before you change the coil?

the car was putt putting the day before so I took it to autozone. Once they ran the machine they got back the following error codes P0351 & P0352. Which said that there was a malfunction in the primary or secondary electrical circuits for the ignition coil "A" & "B". So I replaced the ignition coil with a "OEM Beck Arnley" Igniton coil" and now the engine will run but then it shuts off. At first I thought it was a firing order problem but they're on right. I'm hoping its not the ignition module, which will run about $150. Thanks in advance
