Hi

OK you need to check for spark at the plugs, if no spark check for pulse at the coil and also check for pulse at the injectors. If you have spark, give it a drink of fuel down the manifold to see if it gets a result. Can you hear the fuel pump priming?

Most ECUs earth the fans to make them work.

As far as bleeding goes, is your header tank the highest point? On WBX I drilled a very, very tiny hole in the thermostat to allow the coolant to flow to both side of the thermostat, some thermostats have a ball check valve for this purpose. I was able to fill my WBX from my header tank and any air in the system would bleed to the top the header tank, then the overflow system would rid it of any air after few warm ups and cool downs.
