I really thank everyone for the responses as they have helped me over come these issues.
I now believe I am on the home stretch. I researched my temp gauge issue and now know i need a new coolant temp sensor. However my cooling fans only come on when ac is on. This was the issue all along. Is there another sensor that controls the fans coming on when the car gets up in temp?

The AC compressor being activated triggers the fans to turn on at low speed regardless of engine coolant temp. It's intended to create airflow across the AC condenser.
Replace your coolant temp sender and get the PCM data on engine coolant temp, and you may just be fixed.
