Standard Ignition TH116 throttle position sensor for the 1995-1998 Mazda Protege 4-cylinder 1.5L, the 1999-2000 Protege 4-cylinder 1.8L, the 2001-2003 Protege 4-cylinder 2.0L and other vehicles tracks how far the throttle valve is open. It is made for high mileage Ford and Mazda vehicles and is tested and calibrated to match OE performance.
A worn throttle position sensor can show up as hesitation, an uneven idle or a check engine light. Before you replace the sensor, rule out a loose or damaged connector and any trouble in the wiring, and have a shop scan the codes if the signs continue.
The 2002-2003 Mazda Protege5 4-cylinder 2.0L and the 1993-2002 Mazda 626 4-cylinder 2.0L are among the fits, along with many other Ford and Mazda models, and each takes one sensor. If your car is not named here, open the "Vehicles it fits" section to check your exact model and engine.
