Weird ass electrical beep/buzz
I have no clue what is going on here. Someone smarter than me please help.
Video one I can unplug one of the coils and the beep/buzz stops. After a certain amount of time it stops. Then I realized it matches a wried ass thing the wideband is doing video two. Sorry didn't realize the alarm next door was drowning it out but you can still hear the beep/buzz. |
The AEM gauge does buzz a little, I can definitely hear on my quiet workbench, although I don't expect to be able to hear it in a car.
Does the engine bay noise stop if you disconnect the idle valve? |

The PWM heater for the AEM puts a shit ton of noise on the ground/power for the car. It is about 1A worth.
Your coil is ringing from that (coil of wire = electro magnet = speaker). My head unit did the same thing in mine. The actual head unit, with all the speakers disconected, would ring. Connect a 2200uF (or bigger) 25V (or more) capacitor between the power and ground lines for the AEM. It should greatly lower the noise. |

Missing ground there would do it too. Although the AEM is still dumping ton's of noise. I would reccomend the cap anyway to make sure itndoesn't cause any problems with other sensors or whatnot.
