Low coolant?

Cooling fan not working?

Radiator plugged or dirty and needs to be boiled or flushed?

Defective radiator cap?

Behind the front grille is an electric fan motor. It is supposed to come on when you turn on the AC to keep the radiator cooler. If it's not coming on, and the car is sitting, the longer you sit, the hotter it gets. Once the car starts moving again, it starts to cool down. You could have a bad motor or a bad motor relay. I swapped 2 relays and it did the same thing. Got another motor from a junk yard, good as new.

Does the radiator fan on a 2000 Mazda Protege need to be running when idling?

Yes, the radiator fan on a 2000 Mazda Protege should activate when the engine is idling, especially if the temperature gauge indicates that the engine is getting hot. The fan helps to maintain optimal engine temperature by drawing air through the radiator to cool the coolant as it circulates. If the fan is not running during idling and the engine temperature rises, it may indicate a problem with the fan, the temperature sensor, or the fan relay.
