Why does the 1988 Le baron bogs down like its running out of fuel but it has a full tank?
Possibly a MAP sensor issue. the MAP sensor limits RPM's to 2k. If that sounds like the problem, look at the vacuum hoses to the sensor. MAP sensor is located on the left strut tower looking at the engine.
The cam bearing seals will come with the valve cover gasket set. They are simply round pieces of rubber that are held in place with RTV/silicone sealant.
Did you check the turn signal relay? I'm not sure if when you say "other electric components", that this includes the turn signal relay. It sounds like that is what needs replacing.

Where is the water pump located on a 1991 Chrysler LeBaron V6?
The water pump is driven by the timing belt. Removal and installation of the water pump usually requires 4 hours. The easiest way to do the job is to get a Chilton or Haynes repair manual. They provide easy step by step instructions. The water pump cannot be seen unless major parts have been removed. However, the area that the belt is located is on the passenger side of the engine compartment behind both the v-belt and the serpentine belt. There will be a thick black steel plate supporting the motor that has to be removed before you see the belt.
AnswerIf I am correct, I think I read that only the 1995 lebaron has the timing belt- the others have the timing chain. Anyway- I have just replaced the water pump on a 1995 Lebaron GTC 3.0 engine. This car had the timing belt. The water pump is located on the passenger side of the vehicle. It is behind the steel plate that is bolted to the engine. To access the water pump it is necessary to remove the motor mount that is bolted to the top wheel well. Note!!(I bought the chiltons engine repair manual, It helped a little but was not detailed enough to explain what needed to be done.)In order to do this you must have a floor jack to place under the vehicle. you need to support the engine when you remove the mount. I had a floor jack with a block of wood on it and placed the jack under the oil pan and jacked it up so the jack just held the engine in place. Next I used the vehicle jack and jacked up the car to remove the passenger front wheel. you need to remove the wheel and the inner front plastic wheel well cover (a few screws and some push type connectors.) You need to do this in order to get at some of the bolts on the plate. You must be safe and support the vehicle with blocks or jack stand do not get under the vehicle to remove bolts etc with just the car jack holding up the car, It can fall on you or someone. Ok now you have the car up solid. My vehicle was all metric so your going to need a set of metric sockets and a set of metric wrenches. I used 10mm-11mm-12mm-13mm and 15mm sockets and wrenches to do the job.I am not a mechanic, and I did not know what I was getting into when I started this job, but if your like me a note pad to draw diagrams of where thing go and will help alot. bolts etc.To get at the water pump you first remove the upper radiator hose----sorry have to go will finish this tomorrow
AnswerHey i,m back---well with the car engine supported and the passenger wheel and front wheel well cover removed, we are ready to get to work. First remove the top radiator hose from the radiator and from the top of the engine at the thermostat. ( unplug the the two wires at the thermostat) and the wire to the alternator and move them out of the way. Next remove the two bolts that hold the alternator then push down on the alternator to remove the serpentine belt. On the top of the wheel well, remove the two bolts holding the motor mount- and then remove the bolts that hold the motor mount to the front plate, and remove the motor mount.In order to unbolt the plate that is covering the water pump, you need to unbolt the air conditioner compressor, remove the four bolts holding the compressor onto it,s mounting bracket. The small drive belt should come right off. Next remove the two bolts holding the compressor bracket in place. (note- when the compressor is loose take some wire and wrap it around the hoses and lift it up as high as you can and tie it to the front grill area to keep it from hanging. Next you need to remove the mounting bolts on the bracket for the power steering pump- looking at the engine from the passenger side it,s the pulley on the very bottom left. you have to slightly get under the car and find the two bolts on the bracket to remove them. now your ready to remove the big plate that is covering the pump. You should be able to see all the bolts needed to remove the plate. Some of the bolts are long and others are short- make a diagram and measure the bolts so you can see where they go when you get ready to replace them. Once all the bolts are removed pull forward on the plate. on the back of the plate there are protrusions that fit in the engine, wiggle it around and it should come off.With the plate off remove the timing belt covers top and bottom. Again make a drawing of bolt placement. With the cover off you should now see the water pump.There are bolts all around the pump I think 9 in all remove and replace your pump and put everything back like you took it off. You may have to play with the jack that is holding up the engine, lifting it slightly up and down at one point or another to line up the engine mount. before you put every thing in make sure that the timing belt does not fall off the cams or your timing will be off- this happened to me and i had to remove everything again to line up the cams and botom pulley. Have to go- good luck and be safe. i will tell later how to set the timing belt. rniz AnswerHi again--- well like I said while i was removing things i let the timing belt fall off the cams. I put it back on but I must have been a tooth off and it threw the car out of timing.With the belt on the top cams ---use a wrench and rotate the bottom pulley until the mark on the belt spleen (The part where the belts teeth fit into) is lined up with the nub that is sticking out of the oil pump. If you look closley at the belt spleen you will see a little cut away on the front of it. ( the part closest to the engine) this notch will be almost straight up and in line with the nub on the oil pump. This will get you at tdc with the #1 piston. next remove the belt from the top two cams and turn each cam until the marks on the cam, ( mine were little triangles) line up with the marks on the back plates. Replace your belt and your ready to reassemble. ---I couldn,t find anyone to tell me how to do this job, I figured it out by myself. anyway good luck---peace out rnizWhere can you find a fuse diagram for a 1995 Chrysler LeBaron?
Go to the library or to the auto parts store and buy the Chiltons manual for this car- All the wiring diagrams for the vehicle are in the back of the manuals. rniz
Haynes makes a manual that is a bit easier to understand than the Chiltons. Autozone and NAPA sell them.
Check the fuel lines that loop over the belt as they clip onto the inlet and return line at the intake manifold. Most likely they are dry rotted and dripping fuel.
Why does a 92 Chrysler lebaron keep running hot even with new thermostat?
It also has a sensor near the engine mount that needs replaced if it already ran hot. Its on the engine where the hose from radiator to goes to engine. One sensor is for coolant level and one for the temp sensor. Near the pulleys.
Where can I get an owners manual for a 1989 Le Baron?
Manuals are available at most auto parts stores, most public libraries, and ebay/half.com
Is there a serpentine belt tensioner on the 1993 lebaron 3 liter v6?
Well, there's a tensioner pole involved in the main belt, if that's what you ask; you can easily locate it as the pole that pushes down the belt on the top of the system, nearest to you that the alternator pole if you are seeing the car at front. If the tensioner pole is damaged, every new belt you replace will be destroyed by the engine in days. If I didn't answer you well or you have any more questions, please feel free to write at alg11@televicable.net.mx
Why do 93 LeBaron gauges go out?
the only thing i could think of is a bad speed sensor, but that's only if its the odometor and speedometor. if its everything, then theres a bad commection or possibly a fuse.
What are the symptoms of blown head gasket or cracked block?
There are many different ways a head gasket can "blow". i just replaced one that was haping serious problems. in most cases you will expereince some kind of over-heating and extremely poor engine function. in my case my oil level was fine, but the gasket had ruptured next to the edge of a cylinder and was leaking coolant into the cylinder. this cylinder and everntual another failed to fire correcting and eventualy the engine wouldn't even start. coolant was visible coming out of the exhaust pipe in significant amounts. sometimes the same thing will occur only instead of coolant it will be oil leakin ing. sometimes when a gasket is blown oild can visibly be seen leaking in large amounts out from where the block meets the head and down the block. run through your engine systems and make a check list. check each and every engine system and cross them off. when everything else is fine then begin checking your main engine parts. a blown head gasket can cause many different symptoms.
If your block is cracked, more then likely this leads to catostrophic engine failure. you can visibly see a break or crack in the engine block and oil and/or coolant can be seen leaking in large amounts.
Whoever wrote the first part of this didn't mention that your engine can have a crack in the cylinder wall inside the engine and coolant will leak from the water jacket into the oil and oil into the coolant. And if the crack is in the cylinder wall you won't be able to see the crack and the oil and coolant won't leak onto the ground; but when you check your oil or coolant you will be able to see the two mixing.

How do you manually rise the top on a 1993 Le Baron Convertible that is stuck down?
Just remove hydraulic oil from conv. top motor and you can operate top by hand. worked for me for years
How do you replace the odometer cable for a 1994 LeBaron?
Shouldn't be a cable. It should be electronically driven from ECM. Mine didn't work until I repaired bad solder connections on the circuit board.
Have a '03 Corvette Convertible and did the following:
1.Clean surface, unlock the top and place a 2" spacer to relieve stress on window interface.
2.Apply thin coat of 3M Glass Primer [08682 or 08681] to the glass area to be glued -10 min dry time.
3.Apply 3/16" bead of 3M Windo-Weld adhesive 10.5 oz tube [08609] over primer - Press the surface of the top around the window to provide a good contact and extrude excess adhesive.
4.Prop up the window from inside the car to provide good contact between the glass and top - this is important. I also placed some duct tape in a few locations at the window top interface to assist in holding the top to glass. Cover top to protect from rain - leave top unlocked with spacer.
5. I let it cure for 3 days because of my outdoor weather conditions, but the curing conditions [Temp/RH] can be found on the 3M Web Site.
6. Carefully clean excess adhesive with razor blade.
7. Cost about $25. Materials can be ordered online or at a body shop supplies retailer.
