D-Max noise(s) suppression
#1
It seems like the diesel injector pulses on an early 2012 Isuzu D-Max TwinCab is the major source of noise when the engine is running and I am wondering if anyone has tried to quieten one of these beasts. On 7MHz with a helical at the back of the tub, the pulse noise is around S9+10. I have not yet done much playing around with Noise Blanker, bonding the bonnet to body etc.. but someone may have already achieved results along this route. Radio is an IC-706MK2G with remoted head, in-line LDG autotuner to help the matching off the resonant frequencies of the various whips used.

I also have an S7 broadband noise even with the engine off and I suspect that it is probably the ECU - but I haven't pulled fuses in the engine compartment as yet to see if one will stop that noise. I have pulled all of the passenger compartment fuses without any change.

Vehicle is a 4JJ1 series 3.0L diesel.... & shielding of the injector leads is probably not easily done.

Anybody got any known fixes ??
