Would have made more sense to add this question to your other thread, there are still a couple unanswered questions from there, and a couple more I can think of...
Have you verified yet whether or not the fans are coming on? You said you were unsure about that. Did you make sure all air is bled out of the cooling system? Is it overheating on the highway, in traffic, or both? You replaced the thermostat, was the engine overheating with the old one? |

Back to the fans. You mentioned that you verified that the fans were coming on by observing the data logger. The PCM has no idea whether the fans are coming on or not, it only knows that it commanded the fans to go on. You really need to look at the fans when the engine is hot. Additionally, if the fan wiring was messed with, there is a possibility that the fan wiring was reversed and the fans are spinning in the wrong direction
