[Rover] Spark Plug Noise on F150

Sun, 30 Jun 2002 08:41:00 -0400

Just a thought, but if you are running a rig at less than 20 amps, Radio
Shack has a great in-line filter that goes on the power leads.  Works
pretty good.

Fords are horrible.  I have a 2002 Focus.  It has individual coils for
each spark plug, bad wires and a noisy fuel pump.  Luckily I have a Yaesu
FT-100D which has the best noise blanker I have ever seen.  Still, I
can't transmit on 40 Meters (it kills the engine).

Ford has a web site which deals with ignition noise.  If I can find the
URL, I'll post it.
