98 was the last year they put a working temp guage in these cars.

so your car may be running 15deg cooler...but the guage won't show it.

they aren't coming on cause its not getting hot enough.

Get your tune touched up for the new thermostat temp and have the fans come on earlier. No point in having a 160 stat if your fans still kick on near 200.
