It’s been ages!
Posted by Ian Gutjahr in Animation, Life on 04 25th, 2008Well, what can I say… I’ve been super busy with stuff around here. Nothing really cool to talk about though.
I created a dry erase board in Flash last week. That was pretty cool. I’ll upload it in a bit so you all can see how fun it is. I’ve also been working on a simple Duck Hunt game in Flash as well. So far I have the duck flying and the gun shooting the pellets at the duck and also have scoring complete. All I have left to do is create some more levels and have the duck actually fall like in the old Nintendo game.
As for the car. This week we’ve added a Cold Air Intake. The gains were pretty noticable and the sound is defently more aggressive. Removing the factory air box also cleaned up the engine bay a bit. Next week we’ll be adding my Air/Fuel ratio, voltage and fuel pressure gauges. I’ve picked these gauges because they seemed to be the most useful to my car (as you may have noticed in other posts).
When the weather gets better we’ll be installing my new header. This will stop my car from sounding like a v8. Which I really can’t wait. I can’t stand being heard from a kilometer away.
Other than this stuff, I don’t have much more news. My brother got his learners licence. So be watchful!

Easters coming! Week off school!
Car Fixed!
Posted by Ian Gutjahr in Hobbies, Life, School on 01 21st, 2008We were able to fix my car this weekend. It all started back in October when I was driving home from school and the car died. I thought the fuel pump just called it quits so I had it towed to Canadian Tire and they comfirmed it. The fuel pump was died. They were wrong!
It turned out that it wasn’t the fuel pump that was broken. It was a wiring issue to the PCM that was blowing my fuel pump fuse. After about 2 weeks of looking for a short we gave in and took it into Chrysler to find the problem. James - the mechanic - took the entire car apart to check the entire wiring harness from the engine back to the pump. It was fine. He re taped the wires and wrapped them up.
Since then the cars been running a little chunky. This weekend we replaced the new (cheapo) fuel pump with the old OEM one that we took out and the car runs fine.
Everyone says the dealerships are only out to get your money. This is untrue, it may cost a little more to get your car in with them. But it’s really worth it. They took the entire car apart and fixed the problem for $250.00. Defently would have saved alot of money if I just went to the dealer first. As for taking your money. Yesterday I took my back seat apart and found two dallors under the seat! James could have taken that - but he didn’t!
In other news! This one isn’t as exciting to me..
I did my math exam on Friday and as far as I can tell… I think I passed. We’ll see next semester.
New Design!
Posted by Ian Gutjahr in Destructive Chaos on 12 30th, 2007I’ve finally sat down and decided to learn the WordPress templating system. It’s actually pretty simple. Basicly all you need are 4 main files (style.css, index.php, sidebar.php, and footer.php) and all you do with that is fill in your sites stuff and WordPress does the rest.
What do you guys think of the site? You like it or no? What do you think would make it better?
Making a new design gave me a chance to try some new PHP and XHTML ideas. I’m still trying to figure out how to take out the grey piece from the bottom of the page. If you know how to do that, please share
Comments are always welcome!
All fixed up!
Posted by Ian Gutjahr in Hobbies, Life, Travel on 12 21st, 2007Well as some of you may already know, my blog has not been working properly for the past few months. It’s been such a long time since I’ve been able to post. Anyway, it turns out that one of the plugins that I was using did not agree with the update I did on the site months ago and it’s only now that I fix it.
 Alot has happened since I last posted. First things first. I killed my baby. It was horrible! (if you don’t know by now, my baby - is my car.) I was driving home from school when all the sudden it died on me.
I took her to Canadian Tire and they told me it was my fuel pump that had quit on me. (CND Tire isn’t so good at mechanics I think). They quoted me $700 to fix my broken fuel pump for me. Of course, being me, and always looking for the cheapest way to fix my problems I took my car home. I dropped in a new fuel pump and the car still did not start.
After some more tests we figured it might be the PCM that was acting up or fried. So I went online to find a new one to drop in. I bought a Mopar Performance PCM and dropped it in, still no go.
Finally we check the fuses again. (I know, it’s the first thing you should always do. The thing is, we thought Canadian Tire would have the brains to do that before me). We dropped a new 20A fuse in and magicly the car starts.
Now my problem isn’t solved by a simple fuse. No, of course not. It’s never that simple. We took the car for a drive and it died 30 minutes later after we bought 91 grade gas (new computer needs it). We called a tow truck and now my car is sitting in my drive way again.
We’ve narrowed the problem down to a short in the wiring somewhere. The only problem being that the little fuel pump fuse seems to be connected to everything that is of importance. Tomorrow we’ll be swapping back in the stock computer to try and get some error codes from the sensors. The new computer needs to be plugged into a scanner to work and I don’t feel like spending another $150 right now.
So that’s what I’ve been up to for the past few months. If you have any ideas on what could be my problem. I’ll be happy to hear it! I’m looking for all the help I can get. The guys over at Neon Canada have been great too!
Merry Christmas everyone!
