Acura Legend Distributor
Acura Legend Distributor supplies the proper high-voltage pulses that fire each cylinder to let the V6 run smoothly and efficiently. Each Distributor spins the oil pump to protect the lubrication. The early Acura Legend models relied on a mechanical Distributor with breaker points in a cam-driven rotor, which also supplied centrifugal and vacuum advance units, therefore capturing energy. Thus, the shaft gear, points, and cap inside the Distributor would also route coil energy through wires in exact firing order. Frequent use of these moving components means that owners must adjust the gaps and replace the caps to prevent hard starting or rough idling. Acura later adopted this same ignition concept to a complete electronic Distributor. Acura's new design swapped out the delicate points for a magnetic pickup or hall sensor and a solid-state module that required little maintenance and increased the spark strength. The two styles feature the same rotor under a plastic cap and a camshaft-driven gear, but in the case of the electronic version, the majority of the friction parts are removed and the reluctor wheel is applied to signal coil collapse for cleaner combustion. Whichever type, the trusted Acura design keeps Legend running by uniting coil, spark plug wires, and oil-pump drive in one unit. All Legend drivers enjoy reliable starting and smooth pulls.

Acura Legend Distributor Parts Questions & Experts Answers
- Q: How to remove and reinstall the distributor on an Acura Legend?A:Pull off the cable attached to the negative battery terminal, grab all vacuum hoses from the distributor's vacuum advance diaphragm (if it has one), and remove any clamps and wire connection bits from the distributor, writing down where everything went before you get started again. Keep the original wires connecting the coil, but remove all others, except the 1988 and 1989 Integra models. Find the number one spark plug wire terminal that stands out from the others on top of the cap when the distributor is in place; if nothing's noted, follow the wire from spark plug one to the cap. Turn the engine until the rotor tube points toward where you'll plug in number one spark plug wire. To align the distributor properly, put marks directly under the rotor tip, both on the base and the cylinder head, in direct line with its top. Take out the distributor by disconnecting the spark igniter wires, then undo the attach bolts with care: don't rotate the crank while doing this. Use compression pressure at the number one plug hole to return the crankshaft to its original TDC position if it started moving while you removed the distributor. Twist the distributor back into the cylinder head after putting on a fresh O-ring, place it in the same position it had before, and make sure the distributor lugs match the grooves in the camshaft to stop you from installing it incorrectly. Check twice that the distributor and cylinder head match up correctly where the base mates to the head, and make sure the rotor points to the same spot as your previous mark. Re-install the hold-down bolt loosed, and put everything back in place by doing the reverse of your earlier steps, making sure timing is right before tightening these hold-down bolts well.
