thanks, I'll start with that. but there's no static on the radio, it cuts out completely. it's actually a modern radio/cd player, and i shuts off completely. the wiring on it is good, I know that 100% sure. I accelerate, it shuts off then is on real fast again. I was thinking then when rev the engine, there's some big current draw somewhere, and that's when I started thinking about the distributor. pfff, I don't like this problem too much
