Those with coil relocations come in I made a coil relocation kit with Taylor 8mm universal wires and now I am having some radio interference. Anyone else have this problem, or cured it? It is worse on some stations than others, and not even all the time. It does change with engine RPM so I am sure that is it. Not really a buz, but a tick,tick in the radio speakers.

noise in the radio usually means the wires are not shielded properly or the radio is grounded improperly, maybe you messed up one of the wires when you made them. is it an aftermarket radio? you can try a ground noise reducer, but i would check the wires.

Ya, i meant "now".
It is the factory radio. I did not have any noise till I put the wires on, so I am sure that is the problem. I guess I can try the extra 2 wires I made to find the one, but not sure what to do when I think I have found it. Redo the end? I was mainly just wondering if other people have had this problem.

well once you find the source you can then start trying to fix the wire, it has improper shielding in one spot letting excess power energy bleed out that the radio ground pics up. i would start by redoing the end, making sure the shielding is intact and doesnt have a gap, then if you want you can try to wrap some electrical tape on it or something else to shield it better. i guess no one else has had this problem so its probably just something you did and not the wires themselves, maybe ppl can at least post up that they have the same wires with no problems.
