Make sure the alternator is mounted square to the crank pulley and the bolts holding it are the right size. Some bolts have a bigger diameter that the threaded part or there are bushings in the alternator. If the wrong bolt was used or a bushing was not in the hole in the alternator, it will sit at a slight angle and tear up the belt. No reason it should be damaged, but make sure the crank pulley is tight and running straight. If it had a slight wobble that would do it also.

Does a 2003 Mazda Protege LX have an IAT Sensor?
what is your ?, a MAF is basicly a IAT The Mazda Protege and Protege 5 2.0L engine has an IAT Sensor located just past the factory air filter box. It is a two wire sensor that plugs into the intake tube via a rubber grommet. The three wire plug in the Mass Air Flow Sensor. DO NOT Unplug either of these sensors while the vehicle is running or key turned to accessory. Will cause a flag in the computer and turn on the Check Engine Light. Hope this helps.

It was the belt tensioner! It had to be removed and rebuilt. Now it is working like a charm!! And I havn't had to replace the alternator in over 3 months!!!!
