DENSO Auto Parts Oxygen Sensor P/N:234-4642
DENSO Auto Parts 234-4721 oxygen sensor for the 2001-2003 Mazda Protege 4-cylinder 2.0L and other vehicles measures the oxygen in the exhaust so the engine computer can adjust the air-fuel ratio. This is the upstream sensor, so it reads exhaust gas ahead of the catalytic converter.
A worn oxygen sensor can show up as a check engine light, poor fuel economy or a rough idle. Before you replace it, rule out wiring damage and exhaust leaks near the sensor, since either can skew its readings. If the sensor is the cause, this one replaces it.
This oxygen sensor fits the 2001-2003 Mazda Protege 4-cylinder 2.0L and the 2002-2003 Mazda Protege5 4-cylinder 2.0L. This listing is one sensor, and the 2001-2003 Mazda Protege 4-cylinder 2.0L takes one.
Fit and size
Build and materials
This part cross-references / interchanges with the following part numbers:
Will this oxygen sensor fit the 2002-2003 Mazda Protege5 4-cylinder 2.0L?
Yes. DENSO Auto Parts 234-4721 fits the 2002-2003 Mazda Protege5 4-cylinder 2.0L, and that engine takes one upstream sensor.
Is this DENSO Auto Parts oxygen sensor heated?

How long is the harness on this upstream oxygen sensor, and what is its thread size?
The wiring harness is 9.45 in long and the thread diameter is 0.708 in. The connector is female.
How can I tell if this upstream oxygen sensor is wearing out?
A check engine light, poor fuel economy or a rough idle can mean a worn sensor, though each can have other causes. A shop can read the sensor's signal with a scan tool.
What protects the ceramic element in this oxygen sensor?
A PTFE filter blocks contaminants, and dual-layer protection shields the ceramic element. An aluminum oxide trap layer guards it from silicone and lead poisoning.
