No most fans run off a sensor and thermostat when your motor gets hot the sensor turns on the fan or if there is a load on the motor the fan will come on.Other than you cannot turn your ignition on because of the worn tumbler.

Why is your car temperature Rising while at an idle and then goes down when you are moving?
When your car is at idle there is no air flow to cool the radiator, but when your car moves the air flow through the radiator cools it down. I would suspect the radiator fan is not coming on when it should. If the fan is working properly the engine temperature should stay fairly constant assuming the thermostat is also working properly.
Does the fluid in the radiator have to flow as soon as you turn the engine on?
No , the engine coolant will start flowing through the radiator when the engine coolant thermostat starts to open ( assuming everything is working properly ) Helpfull
