94 Lebaron GTC overheats once and a while.

:banghead: I'm not sure what it is. If some one who knows anything about these cars can help I would greatly accept it. I've replaced the waterpump, the t/stat, the timing belt, and set the timing. It still overheats. If anyone has any ideas that would be great. I could about try anything at this point.

When the car is heated up, does the fan come on??? If not, replace the temp sensor as it turns the fan on and off. I think you have 2 sensors. The one with 1 wire activates the temp gauge. You want the one with 2 wires.

I gave my 94 GTC to my little brother and it does this same thing could you possibly tell me where these sensor's are located???

^^sorry and maybe how much they cost would be awsome too this sounds like a project for next weekend when i go home to see my mom and lil bro

I believe the temp sensors are located on the intake manifold on the passenger side of the car, right my the passenger side motor mount, around which there are a couple fuel hoses. I can't imagine the temp sensors would cost more than $5 a piece.

I had a similar problem with my 95 LeBaron. I ended up replacing the fan motor to fix it. It ran most of the time but would seize on some occasions.

Hmm my 3.0L 'Baron overheats only once in a while, when I drive her hard. I think the radiator may simply be bad.

I vote for the fan motor. My '94 was overheating for months, tried everything, even wired a switch to turn the fan on when temp started to rise. The fan worked fine when the engine was cold. Then, when it overheated on a hot afternoon, I switched it on and it continued to overheat. I looked under the hood and the fan was barely turning over!

A replacement fan assembly is cheap, or just pick one up at the junk yard. Be sure it's working when the engine is hot - way to tell, turn on the AC. Even if the temp sensor isn't working, the fan should run when the compressor runs.

If the problem mostly occurs during cool weather with the top down and AC off, then the problem is the temp sensor.
