If it's really hot and you're in traffic, MAYBE. How hot are you running? Do you have an aftermarket temp gauge? Have you changed your thermostat out with a Mazda thermostat in recent memory? Any coolant leaks? Any air trapped in the system?

No, only one fan operating should not let you overheat in normal street driving....but fix your fricking fan! Jeez. Troubleshoot the items Dale mentioned and don't let the car overheat.

You can buy a fan from super store.
i'm not sure how you can fit it in the engine though... I have one in my bedroom when I sleep!
