Unless Mazdas are different, your VIN (vehicle id number) is located where the windshield meets the dash on the driver's side. you may have to lift the dash mat to clearly see it. Also Your insurance & title paperwork will list it.

Yes it is an interference engine
left(front) bank. middle coil(2-4-6)
The bank 2 is located on the driver side of the engine on the Mazda Tribute. The Sensor 2 is located after the catalytic converter.
It is hard to see but it is on top of the block facing upwards and is written facing backwards, right next to the edge of the cylinder head above no3 cylinder. Hope this helps.
The '01 Mazda MPV with the 2.5 Liter engine actually has two timing chains, one for each side of the V6 engine. This engine has 2 overhead cams on each side of the engine (DOHC) controlled by the 2 chains.
The firing order on a 2003 Mazda Protege DX 2.0 is 1, 4, 2, 5, 3, 6. The number 1 cylinder is on the back right as you face the engine.
its on the left side of the mota above the power steering pump, bolted 2 the head and 2 the chassis and 1 also on gearbox...
Looking from the front of the 2003 Tribute at the engine, the cylinders at the front from left to right are 4-5-6. On the firewall side of the engine from left to right, the cylinders are 1-2-3.
Knowing the firing order of a car's engine can help with engine issues later. The firing order for a 1995 Mazda Miata is 1-3-4-2.
It is a twin overhead cam engine that uses 2 chains. It's a Mazda engine but Ford used chains while for Mazda cars they use belts.
All the cylinders should be within 10% from the lowest reading to the highest reading for a healthy engine.
