Talking 97 civic overheating sitting still at idle please help me troubleshoot?

what would cause the engine cooling fan not to come on until the gage reaches 3/4 of the way to HOT? when it reads 3/4 hot, the fan kicks on as it did when it ran at half way normal mark. i checked the relay and it works since the fan powers on. would the engine coolent temp sensor cause it to not come on like normal?
