Default I'm going to assume you mean fan (language barrier : - ) what year is your car?

It might be a thermostat problem.

Default It should run with a cold engine if the air conditioning is on, i.e. ECON not pressed

If the electric radiator fan comes on with a cold engine when you turn on the key, before you start the engine, the problem could be the thermal switch in the radiator.

Default I'd refer to ttuling's post. Sounds like a logical diagnostic procedure.

The prefacelift models weren't really problematic to a thermostat issue. But if its still blowing when the A/C is off while the engine is cold, it could be as ttuling said, a thermal switch.
