Your cooling fans are turned on and off automatically via a temp sensor and/or relay swtch. You can locate this sensor either near the intake or sometimes on the radiator itself (usually near bottom). If you "jumper" the pins your cooling fans should kick on (key in access. on position). If they do you prob have a bad sensor. If they don't you may have either bad wiring or a bad relay switch (fuse block under hood driver's side - 1st relay in upper right corner).

#18 of 18 88' Lebaron reving up while shifting by superman8193

Jan 12, 2011 (12:19 am)

Hello. I am a noob around these parts, and to my newly acquired 1988 Lebaron Convertible. It is a 4 cyl. 5 spd. Manual. It has just over 111,000 miles on it. My problem is that when it's cold out, (like now) if the car is not warmed up, (which I have been told not to do) when shifting gears, it revs up really high! It doesn't matter what gear I am in, as soon as I engage the clutch & pull it out of gear into the neutral position, or just normal shifting, the engine revs so high that it is starting to freak me & the wife out. And since it revs so high, once the stick shift is set into the next gear, the car "lightly" lurches forward. But then the RPM's go down to normal levels until the next shift, then up it goes again. Now, if I let the car warm up like 10 to 15 minutes, (which I have been told is hard on the engine) it is fine. Any ideas on this one? Any help will be greatly appreciated! Thanks.
