Best Answer

Most '86 Caprice engines were fitted with a four barrel carb which requires occasional adjustment to keep idle at reasonable speed.

Why does ac condenser fan not run when car is idling?

The condenser fan is more likely to run when the car is idling. So if it NEVER comes on when idling you definitely have a problem. If the condenser is not cooled, then your compressor could get overloaded. It may be a problem with a relay that is preventing the fan from running - or some other issue.
