Is it a white noise/static type noise, or is it more of a whine that changes with the engine speed? Your radio filter capacitor could have gone kaput as well, or perhaps a ground for the antenna? That would cause electrical interference to work it's way into the radio, and AM is pretty susceptible to interference.

Then again, it could be the liberals. My radio at work seems to get staticy around 3pm when Michael Savage is on... (And my town has NO shortage of whiny liberals...)
Michael Savage comes pretty close to drowning out the static on mine!

It doesn't seem to change the change in rpm

Where would I find that capacitor?
That is what it sounds like to me. That would explain the absence of static when the motor isn't running on accessory.. I guess I could try it with the ignition switch turned on to run and not start the car might narrow it a bit more?

Thanks all!
