No , the 1.8 liter 4 cylinder in a 1999 Mazda Protege is not an interference engine
Both the 1.6 Liter and the 2.0 Liter have a timing belt that must be replaced every 105,000 miles. The 1.6 L is not an interference engine but the 2.0 L is an interference engine.
The Kia 1.8 liter engine is a Mazda engine used in the Protege' from the mid-90s. That and the 2.0 liter engine used in 1994-2002 Sportages were used from Mazda and if the timing belt breaks, it will NOT damage the valves, thus a non-interference engine.
