Default What is the normal operating temperature?

So the temperature gauge on my van was broken and I installed a sunpro universal. The only issue, where would I rig the cooling fans to make them run full time? I'm not running a non electric gauge that is not hooked to the computer, so there is nothing to tell the fans to kick on. Also, what is the normal running temperature of a 2001 GC with a 3.3? Currently the gauge reads 200 to 215.

Between 200 to 220 is normal. With the air off, they fans probably will not come on until around 220. They do not use the same sensor for the gauge and the fan control I don't think.
