electronics guys: radio help
I am getting major signal interference due to either my megasquirt or walbro fuel pump. It is mostly the higher FM radio stations (104.1, 105.5, 107.7 ect). They will come in perfectly clear with ACC on. when i turn the car to on (engine running or not) i completely loose the radio stations.
I have a pioneer head unit grounded to the metal frame, OEM antena, MS1, walbro 190hp.
Any help would be great, I just noticed this today and with my commute next year i want some free tunes!

Yes, but its hard to tell if its the MS or fuel pump because they both power up. Ill try disconnecting my MS and turning it to on. the factory ecu will still turn the fuel pump on. I run in parallel.

Its actually a ghetto *** ground to a bolt by the shifter. U think a good ground will help a lot? Im moving the radio to the lower DIN and installing gauges above it this weekend, ill get a good ground then.
