Defining Argumentation "Give me liberty to know, to utter, and to argue freely according to conscience, above all liberties."--John Milton, poet In Thomas Moore's book Utopia, a resident of the city Utopia explains to readers that one of their society's greatest accomplishments is that they can openly debate and discuss various viewpoints; each Utopian has been trained to discuss and argue respectfully. It is the Utopian belief that through true argument, "TRUTH" can be found. In our society, we know that "truth" can be very subjective, but Thomas Moore's assertion in his book points out something very interesting: That through argument one can find answers.

2003 Ram Hemi Electronic Throttle Control malfunction 2003 Ram Hemi Electronic Throttle Control malfunction lizard I've had this problem for months. I have taken it to 3 different dealer service centers, and everytime they charge me to update the computer software. They still haven't fixed anything, and everytime I leave the dealer after "getting it fixed", within 25 miles the problem reoccurs. According to my owner's manual the electronic throttle control malfunction warning light is only on the Hemi Rams. BleedDodge Just let it build up enough RPM to move. oh wow, thanks for your help, i never thought of that. Perhaps I didn't explain my problem well enough, when the problem occurs, it often prevents the truck from moving at all, and all i can do is push on the accelerator until it does move.

Someone else might be able to help you with this... slantsixness Mike
