Why doesn't mine turn when the car is on but not moving? Actually I don't think it turns on at all. Isn't that bad?

the fan isnt constantly on, the temp. of the engine rises when it is put to work. your cooling system can cool the engine much faster when it is idling.

It would only be bad if you notice that your temp gauge goes to H very frequently. If not, your cooling system is working just fine.

Probably because you have your hood open looking for it to turn on but it really has more room for the hot air to escape because you have your hood open, thus there is no need for it to turn on :)

Mine come on all the time like when i'm playing around with the timing. But if the heat gage doesn't reach H then it should be fine.
