Agree, pull the CID connector and look for cooties.

The original radio power is a direct feed from the ignition switch and appears to have no interface with the Lambda/CDI.

However, if someone were to have tapped their radio into an un-switched power circuit, like the O2 relay circuit (which feeds the glove box light and is right there), maybe issues with the radio could do some weird things to the juice feeding the Lambda/frequency valve/02 relay?

The CDI is fed power through fuse 22, a 25 amp fuse that also feeds the rear engine electric blower. Now, could weird things like a tired blower motor sap some of the juice from the line causing the CDI to not have enough? I doubt it but I don't know. I would think it would deliver the 12V and asked for amp draw till a fuse blew.

The tech info center has an 82 electrical diagram.
