Default Problem with swap...HELP..

I just swapped in a b16 engine. It seems to idle fine but i have a problem. The engine seems to be running really hot, even though the engine temp guage is not at half way yet. I let it run for 20 min or so. and the fans did not kick in. I am using the factory crx hf fans and radiator. I disconnected the air conditionar but dont think that would have anything to do with it. I have one white plug that is for the radiator fans . there is no where to clip it in on the new harness. It is there on the factory b16 harness though. I am really confused. What should i do. Please help...

i have read on other posts that you can relay a switch to the fan connection so you can manually turn on the fans., if this is possible how will it be done. i am missing a plug somewhere for one of my fan belt...have no idea what happend....fans still wont run and im throwing code 22. its 2 long blinks and two short blinks...

alright, with my old crx which had a zc, the operating temp on that was like the needle half way up.... the fans should kick on, if they don't run a radio shack toggle switch to your dash, or replace your radiator fan switch.... just let it run, if the needle goes past way half then there's prolly somthing wrong........
