Installing ceramic or porcelain tile is both an art and a science. Tile installers must know the composition of the tiles as well as how to lay them in place attractively. Besides the normal costs of labor and materials, a tile project's costs vary by the type of sub-flooring to be used as a foundation for the tile.
Three things can cause an EMI problem: A signal source creates some kind of noise, there is a transmission path for the noise, and/or there is a receiver sensitive enough to be distorted by the noise, as shown in Figure 1.
This type of noise is usually caused by malfunctioning valve lifters or an exhaust manifold leak. If the noise lasts for more than a minute and completely disappears or dimishes after the engine is warm, the most likely cause is an exhaust manifold leak.
