Is it the stock radio or after market? If after market what’s the make and model? Is it just the radio or in the CD/tape too.

and it still can hardly get a station to come in once the car is running,no the CD player works fine...

Check all the grounds in your antenna system. It’s not uncommon to have some corrosion start right under the antenna, at the car body. If the CD works well then it’s probably coming in from the antenna lead and not a power supply problem. Probably bad grounds.
