If pre-OBD, then get a GPS sensor and do the same thing.

Or take the signal from your TPS. If throttle value > X, then fan is condition 0.
It is a 1986. They quit making them in 1987. No OBDII. The GPS sensor sound like a fun Rube Goldberg option. I might be about to tap the speed sensor signal from the ALDL connector. That is what they called the connector back then.

The TPS is a good idea as well. I will have to dig into the Fuel Injection system to figure out the speed sensor or throttle sensor.
