radio prefers acceleration

[Mehul Dholakia <mdholaki@BayNetworks.com>]

Hi all,

My radio seems to be developing a penchant for speeding (as if my liking
was not enough). When I have my foot down (I dont mean all the way down
but just firmly down) on the gas pedal, the radio receives fine. The
moment
I decelerate, relaxing my foot off the pedal, the radio starts
complaining
and there is too much static to be able to hear the radio station. Once
I have my foot back on firmly on the pedal, the radio is happy and
receives
well. This has started happening recently and seems to occur only with
not-so-strong stations. No relationship w/ speed/rpm of the car. I dont
know
if my soon-to-be-replaced noisy fuel pump has anything to do with it.
Any
suggestions would be welcome. Car is an '88 Q90. No-mod radio system.

Thanx,
Mehul
