is this a trick question? of the hundreds of millenia s' i have seen, not one of them have a distributor.
Follow the wires from the spark plugs and they will go to the distributor unless the engine does not have one and has a coil pack.
On the Millenia, each plug has its own coil; there is no distributor. The coils are connected directly to the spark plugs on each cylinder.

Start with a bad Spark Wire Followd by a new Distributor Cap and Rotor button. Pening that failure, replace the sparks.

well if u look at a Mazda 2007 youll see the wires are blue so if you look a the Mazda 1997 it is the same as Mazda 1996 the wire is pinky red on tht one.so the order will be 1996,1997,2007 there all sorted if this was the answer you were looking for.
On top of the cylinder head
Well, first; whether or not the distributor moves is irrelevant. If the motor is out of time (moving the distributor is how the timing is adjusted), it should still have spark. If no spark is apparent, check the internal components or the coil. Are you sure it is a distributor or a "distributorless" ignition system? If it is computer controlled, a whole different ball of wax needs to be considered. You should probably research the ignition system in your vehicle and find out exactly what it consists of and go from there. good luck
it has to be the distributor cap or rotor or wires...plug wires.
Bad Distributor
Spark plug wire layout is also known as firing order. The correct firing order for the 2000 Mazda Protege 1.8L is 1-3-4-2 with a counterclockwise distributor rotation.
on the millenia missfire, check your catalytic converters it has 3 chances are one or more has fallen into pieces in the pipe where do people come up with guesses like these? random miss on a millenia is most likely electrical. definitely NOT cats. if you have a 2.5, check your ign wires, spark plugs, and ign distributor. if you have a 2.3, check plugs and coil packs
