Detailed Description

WAI DST831 is engineered as a complete ignition distributor for Acura Legend models from 1987 through 1990. It is manufactured with all-new components and built to meet or exceed original equipment specifications for fit and performance. This distributor is designed for direct replacement service on the Acura Legend, helping restore proper ignition timing and consistent engine operation. The DST831 also cross-references TD-01T for the same application.

Common Issues It May Solve

  • Hard starting caused by distributor wear
  • Misfire or rough idle related to ignition signal loss
  • Intermittent stalling from failing internal distributor components
  • Timing instability from worn cap, rotor, or housing components
  • Ignition performance issues on 1987-1990 Acura Legend vehicles

Installation Notes and Tips

Before installation, confirm the vehicle application and compare the existing distributor configuration to the new unit. Transfer no ignition coil, since this distributor is supplied without one. Use the included cap and rotor during installation, and verify ignition timing after the distributor is installed on the Acura Legend. For best results, inspect related ignition components and wiring before final startup.

Quality Assurance

WAI manufactures this distributor as a 100% new assembly and tests each unit for long-lasting performance. The DST831 is backed by a limited lifetime warranty.
