Alan,
Well, I'm still not ure about the radio connection, but if the car
tumbles almost to the point of dying, the alternator voltage may
be dropping so low that the radio is turning itself off as a
protective measure. My Kenwood does this.
As for the remainder of the stumbling, I know that the initial
acceleration lag on my Weber is closely tied to the float level, but
since this problem just popped up, I doubt that's your problem.
Could it be your gas? I know that when I fill up with a tank that
was formulated for one set of weather conditions, and the weather
changes drastically, it does funky things. If you have some space in
your tank, you might try filling up with ome gasoline from a
high-volume gas station.
