my car radio sound cuts in and out sometimes it makes like a whistleing sound and the sound goes out it seem to happen when i hit the gas pedal and when i slow the car down or stop the car it comes back on the radio always has power and never shuts off when it isnt supposed to its is just the sound that goes out any ideas thanks

As said above a suppressor might work. Basically they fit to the alternator and and connect to the car body creating an earth. Which then brings in the second point there could be a bad earth connection on the radio, is it a standard radio? Not aftermarket? if its standard or aftermarket take it out and make sure the wires at the back haven't been trapped or damaged, also check the fuse. I have seen cars where the fuse has blown but theres been a small connection still and the radio carries on works.

sounds like you need a noise suppressor, i believe they put them stock on most cars in the alternator or something, you could also buy a aftermarket one, go to this site, there is a nice artical
