It seems when I start my car my fan turns on to cool the engine. When the engine hasnt been running for hours. Could it be the thermostat?

plus I just had my mechanic change my timing belt. But it makes noises.

Did you have the A/C or the defroster on?

You'll need a scan tool to see what temp it's seeing and whether it's requesting the fan.
