You need a new idle valve, not sure on the temp issue.

the thermostat is stuck open. did you exercise it before putting it in? also it's possible you have the wrong thermostat in it that opens at a lower temperature.

A cold temp thermostat wont make the fans kick in early. I would be checking the rad fan switch if the fans are kicking in too early.

a thought the idle cotrol valve was screwd. can u get these new or salvage job?

the thermostat is working as it should the bottom pipe stays cold till the car is hot think it is a dodgy wire on the temp gauge the plastic is broken on the wire try sourcing a new plug and sensor
