Vacuum leak somewhere, check all connections at the intake manifold, which includes FITV, IACV, Starting air valve, PCV, and all those little black hoses coming off the manifold. A good way to do this is with some carb cleaner, spray each connection, listening for rpms to come down. Also, could be air in the coolant passages, as the air will migrate to where the temp sensor is and cause the car to think its cold.

Yes air in the coolant will cause the fans to not turn on because it thinks your engine is cold
