1998 Mazda Protege Distributor Cap Parts and Q&A

• Q: How to inspect and maintain the Distributor Cap, Distributor Rotor and Spark Plug Wire without a conventional distributor on 1998 Mazda Protege?

  A: The Camshaft Position Sensor is used instead of the traditional distributor on 1999 and subsequent models, and the coil-packs directly fire spark-plugs.
