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

In a 1992 Ford E-150 van, the engine cooling fan is typically belt-driven, not electric. While some late-model vehicles of that era might have had electric fans as an option, the standard setup for a '92 E-150 was a belt-driven fan.

A belt-driven fan should not rotate freely when the engine is off. It's connected to the engine's accessory belt system and will only turn when the engine is running and the belt is turning the water pump and other components. If it's rotating freely when the engine is off, something is wrong—either the fan clutch is malfunctioning or there is a separate issue with the belt drive system.
