Default Ignition noise suppression

My 98 coupe is equipped only with a windshield imbedded antenna, no mast antenna. As a result the AM radio reception sucks. A good part of the noise sounds engine related as it changes with engine RPM. I do not want to drill a hole and install a mast antenna. Questions, will an engine noise suppressor hepl? Any experience with these products?

you should not get any noise. your wires must be bad...change out your spark plug wires.. use GM insulated wires and you should be good to go!



for cheap insurance replace your chassis grounds on the frame near the front headlights

You may be correct. I checked the plug wires and they are Accel. I will change wires and check grounds forthwith.
