what a good brand alternator to buy or should i jsut replace the stock one? i dont see any on procivic

 

or is it way cheaper to get it fixed

 

i dk, in think advanced or autozone can check em for yah, u just need to bring it to them, ask em tho

 

some one told me to try a resistor on the power wire to the cd player

 

i wouldnt think that would help, if anything, a small capasitor to smooth out the entering voltage, but that only hides the problem, it doesnt fix it, since it only does it when the car is runnign, it leads me to beleive its the alt or spark plugs/wires, trys swapping out wires if you have a friend and see if that helps

 

Engine noise through speakers? I didn't read the whole thread.

Anyways, do you have a Pioneer HU? If so that's your problem.

 

no i have an alpine

and i have stock spark wires...does that matter

 

Nothing to do with it.

Few things to try

1. Unplug your RCAs see if you still get the sound.

2. Re-ground your HU. I imagine you used the ground from the factory harness. Get a ring terminal and attach it to the ground wire and attach the ground wire to the frame of the car behind the dash (sand it down to bare metal first)

3. Are your power and RCAs onthe same side...if you have cheap RCAs this could be the problem.

 

i got my alternator checked by autozone they said it was fine


should i get new spark plugs?

 

Check the other thread where the guy had engine noise problems, I posted a link for common solutions.
