In addition to the other posts, consider:

1) Used wrong part, or wired incorrectly, resulting in overheating of electrical component and failure. AutoZone sold me the wrong spark plugs for a Honda SUV once - it ran fine for about 5 minutes and then ran horribly until I discovered the problem.

2) Whatever overheated your original coil has cooked the new one as well. A failed ECU can cook a coil. I don't understand how, but I know it happens on BMWs.

In the old days, coils were meant to operate at 7-9 volts. If the ballast resistor was omitted, and they were operated for an extended period at 12 volts, they would cook. I don't know what voltage these new-fangled electronic ignition coils run.
