probably a good idea to check your plug wires and spark plugs if they have alot of miles on them i would just replace them, make sure you buy suppresion core wires and spark plugs with internal resistor usually indicated with an r in the part number, sometimes noise can be caused by alternator also.

Thanks alot Bejay for the good advice. I know my truck could use a good tuneup. Hopefully, that will take care of the buzz thingy, as well as the stalling at stops when it's cold out. Thanks again.

When you have the tune up done,tell the mechanic you want plugs that will not interfere with your radio signal.

Simply use OEM quality replacement parts which are designed with radio supression in mind and there's no problem

Unless you run solid core wires or racing wires, most aftermarket replacement wires provide radio supression

HI, I AM THE OWNER OF A 1997 CHEVY CAMARO THAT IS HAVING SOME PROBLEMS, THE PROBLEMS ARE IT DIES WHEN ANY KIND OF LOAD IS PUT ON IT SUCH AS STOPPING AT AN INCLIGN OR BACKING UP THE DRIVEWAY OR EVEN A SHARP SLOW TURN. aLSO AT ABOUT 40-50 MILES PER HOUR THE ENGINE SEEMS TO KIND OF SURGE LIKE IT IS MISSING OR SOMETHING. AFTER A DIAGNOSTIC TEST IT CONCLUDED THAT WE NEEDED TO DO A TUNE UP AND CHANGE THE ALTERNATOR WHICH WE HAVE DONE BOTH BESIDES CHANGING THE CAP AND ROTOR AND THE CAR IS RUNNING THE EXACT SAME. PLEASE ANY HELP WOULD BE GREATLY APPRECIATED.

I have a 1998 Mazda 626 lx 4-cylinder. It hesitates badly when excelorating. I think it might be clogged fuel injection system, but not sure. If you know what it is, please reply on what it is and how I can fix it. Thanks, Chuck G.
