I have a 1996 Mazda 121, when I turned the engine on, the cooling fan does not move. Is it supposed to be like that? As far as I can see from the temp gauge, no overheating problem occurs, it's still on the normal range. Someone told me that the fans only work when the engine reaches a certain temperature, is this the case?
 
yes, is normal

that operation is cause by something call thermo-sensor, when it reach certain temp it starts the fan until the part is cool down then it shuts down the cuicuit until it needs to start again
 
yep if its Electric it kicks on at a certain temp ...and the older style ones they kick on at start and at certain speed they stop and start at any time after motor has reach temp
