Default Lower radiator hose doesn't get warm and the radiator fan won't turn on

So I have a 94 eg just swap a b16a. It's running an the gauge gets to running temp but the lower hose doesn't get warm like the upper on an the fan won't turn on.

Fan work, have a good groud. Everything work before I did my swap.

Any ideas on what to do on this problem

Your bad idle might be the throttlebody wire thingy, dont remember what the name of it is.
