noise when engine is on and on AM FM is great
When the radio is on AM in my 1995 Yukon I get nothing but engine noise. The FM is perfect any suggestions as to what is wrong?

they used to make a nosie suppressor (capacitor) that you put on your distributor for this. AM is susceptible to that type of radiated noise by the nature of what it is.

Re: noise when engine is on and on AM FM is great
engine noise is often caused by a distributer or coil, and sometiems an alternator. Like PaulD said check the condensor. (the auto industry calls capicitors condensors.)

Re: noise when engine is on and on AM FM is great
You have to remember that AM picks up different fequencys than FM so it might be picking up on the frequency that the engine electrical system runs at. Like paul said look around for a noise suppressor it should help but it might not completely fix the problem.
