heres one of those little annoying things... if i have a scanner or any kind of radio receiver in my car, theres this really annoying static that seems to be spark noise from the dizzy (it changes as the motor revs). It never used to as bad as it is now.... and I cant think of anything that would have affected it or made it worse. Any of you guys know of any kind of noise suppression that can be used on the coil or summfin?? its not alternator noise, because it happens to radios that run off batteries, just sitting in the cabin of the car. I know its not the normal kinda post... but it sure is related to engine noise of some sort, and i just cant put my finger on it. any help would be great guys cheers

Try running a second earth from the motor to the battery or body to battery or between all 3 (just use a jumper lead to test) Good Luck
