I'm piggybacking terminator x in my 99 z28. So I removed wires I didn't need out of original harness. Stuff like injectors, coils, sensors, that terminator replaced. But I left coolant temperature sensor. Now in hptuners and dash coolant guage is reading. In hptuners scanner i can command each fan to come on. But why will ecm not command it when temperature is high enough

Best I can find is that the computer must think the car is running before it will turn the fans on. Any way to trick the computer into thinking the car is running

Thinking it's running, or actually running? It shouldn't be real hard to do, but without knowing exactly what you've done wiring wise, it might be hard to say.

I'm trying to run the fans off the stock computer. In hptuners I can turn them on using the scanner. But car will not turn them on itself. Temperature sensor hooked up and guage works fine.

Do you have the crank signal still going to the stock pcm? Its needs to see rpm and temp for the fans.

Yea it's pointless to be using the stock pcm he's paid for a Holley efi system that can do all of that and more. I bought an HP unit way back when they first come out and couldn't rip the stock stuff out fast enough
