Maybe you've been sold the wrong part. It happens.
What's the part number?

Yes, we purchased the pump from two different sources, one from the net and the other from a local parts house, and both provided the wrong part. Turns out their computer had listed it wrong and the right one is not in stock. Looks like we need to go to the Acura dealer. Its a 22T, or 22 teeth, anything different won't work and the tensioner won't take up the slack.

Then it's the wrong part, plain and simple.
If you are buying from parts houses, you are not getting "OEM", but "OEM-spec", which is the aftermarket's way of covering up shitty quality and poor fit.
Bite the bullet and spend the extra bucks to get the right water pump -- from the dealer. If you're using other aftermarket parts, ditch them too.
