Anywhere from now to 80,000.

YES, AND YOU SHOULD REPLACE THE TIMING BELT AT THE SAME TIME .

Scan PCM for codes. Check that timing is correct again.These DOHC engines are easy to install a tooth out. Start from the top of engine when installing timing belt on this type of engine it's the easiest way to do it. If you took CRANKSHAFT pulley apart make sure the pick up ring behind isn't placed in backwards.

I assume you are replacing the timing belt, so just wactch the youtube video at the link 1999 03 Mazda Protege 1 8L 2 0L timing belt replacement pt 1

Under hood, driver side, upper engine area, mounted in distributor

The belt shold be checked at 60,000 don't let it go past 100,000 Without replacing you you will be buying a new engine.

here you go buddy
