I think when your fan turns on it pulls (electrical) power from the alt. and battery and to compensate for the extra power need (because it is idling) it has to rev up. You have an automatic right?

thats not normal, the when the fan kicks on the alternator will draw more power and the idle may come up a little but by no means should you almost hit the car in front of you. Try keeping your foot on the brake.
