In my experience, most electric fans come on when the coolant temp sensor signals the computer to start cooling when the car has run up to temperature. Another factor is the fan relay/fan relay control module. I think just the fan clutch type start up with the engine.

Is the engine cooling fan for a 1992 E-150 van electric or belt driven and is it supposed to rotate freely when the engine is off?

I have a 92 e-150 conversion van and the cooling fan is driven by a serpentine belt. The fan blade should rotate freely because the fan is mounted on a clutch hub filled with liquid and will start the blades rotating once the engine has started.

When launching a boat when should you start the boat engine?

Im not entirely sure what you mean by launching it, you mean from a trailer? if so then no, a boat should never be started when it is out of water unless you really know what you are doing, 85% of boats need the lake/river/sea water for cooling the engine. there are some boats that have a closed cooling system that can handle the cooling for a small amount of time but it will eventually need lakewater.

Where is the sensor or switch that turns on the electric cooling fans on a 2003 Pontiac Montana located?

on the 2002 model, open the hood, and on the left side of the engine, there should be a black box, above and to the left of the radiator cap, remove the black box cover with your hands, and you should be able to access the engine fuse box. I think there are three (3) different relays in there that operate your cooling fans.
