The distributor is a none wear item that shouldn't just give out. Mazada admits to have replacing many on the Protege and 626.

I have a detailed account written to the dealership - who can this be sent to? in general in two separate accounts, one after the car had been fixed for the problem, we were driving when we experienced a roughness in the engine. In less than 5 seconds the tachometer began to wildly fluctuate, concurrently loss of power to the gas pedal. Within about ten seconds the engine stalled. We could not restart the car. The dealership had just replaced the distributor, performed a major tuneup and reset the timing on the timing belt for $ $700. Within six hours of getting the car back, the same failure occurred.
