Sounds like the electronic fuel pump, which is back at the tank. I had a
Nissan truck that had the same situation.

Hey guys I have a problem with alittle noise from the fuel pump and a lot

of
noise coming from the ECM on my 95 maxima. I hope someone can help me out.

Here is the deal: Uniden CB radio. I have a 3' K-40 mounted in the rear
quarter panel. When I switch on the ignition, engine on or not it floods
with noise. I turn off the ignition, after 2 second delay the noise stops.
If I dont have the antenna connected i get no noise. If the only the
positive connecter of the coax is on the radio then i will still get

noise.
I measured the resistance between the co-ax ground and the radios ground

and
got 90 ohms, between the radio ground's and the negative terminal of the
battery its about 2 or 3 ohms.

The antenna has a solid ground connection to the chassy, and under the

hood
i have a 4 gauge cable bonding the negative terminal directly to the

chassy.
This might make it seem like all the noise is coming from the antenna side
of things, but if i use my handheld CB on AA battery power there is
virtually no noise picked up. If its powered by the cigarrette lighter

then
noise comes flooding in. This makes it seem like its coming from the power
source.

I get zero noise from the AM radio in the kenwood CD player, which is on a
noise filter anyways. I tried connecting the CB to the same power source

and
it didnt help.

Has anyone had a similar problem?
