I just went through this with my 99 Jeep Cherokee. The dealer did a
50K tuneup and I ended up going from a perfectly RF silent engine to a
radio interference spark gap generator. I found that my problem was
with the new distributor cap and rotor they put in. It was a very
cheap cap with aluminum fittings and a carbon button center conductor.
I replaced it with a distributor cap with a brass spring loaded center
conductor and a brass type rotor and that cleaned up all the noise.

As someone said to me here in this forum, if the engine doesn't start
with a pull cord, stay away from Champion plugs. I went with
Autolites and they worked fine. I also used Autolite Professional
Suppression wires, but to be honest, the Chrysler Mopar wires the
dealer had installed seemed to be every bit as good, and had a few
thousand ohms more resistance in each wire, which might mean even more
supression at RF.

Good luck, I know it can be an irritating problem!
