If the fans aren't coming on, there's part of your problem.

See why the fans aren't coming on that's a problem (bad fans ? wiring/grounds ? relay ?).

Are they the stock fans ?

Is the cooling system building/holding pressure ?

Do you have access to tuning software/scan tools ? It's definately gonna need some tuning...

i would make sure the fans are working and see if there is air in your cooling system as well.
