Installed new set of AB wires and now I get slight static at idle and quite alot of static at WOT. Cruising is fine. Anyway to solve this issue other than putting the stock wires back on?

Not sure which ground you mean? All i did was swap plug wires so i didn't remove any ground wires that I know of.

I had this happen recently too. I had 2 sets and I couldn't find the problem, cowl was properly grounded and the wires routed properly (no criss crossing, etc.). At idle it was crazy bad but would go away with throttle. I put the stock back on with no problems. Chuck Tator even lent his expertise. Good luck!

I too have this problem, when I installed the GTS-R Mopar Blue plug wires. Cds, are fine as is DVDs and ipod. I just get interference on the radio. :(

Could be the radio is very close to the coil packs? In the old days you used to be able to get suppressors for the radios, no idea if they are still available?

Should have mentioned that i never removed the cowl, i was able to reach around the back with the cowl in place. I read that the mopar blue wires seem to cause this but didn't know if th AB wires did also.
