Mine did that a while back too...at first i would hit the gas and it would take it forever to move, then one day it just stopped working. I turned the car off and disconnected the battery for a while...worked fine again after that.

yeah, reset your ecu. turn off your car and disconnect the ground from the battery. let it sit for about 5-10 min, then re-attach the ground to the battery, turn your car back on and let it run at idle for about 20-25 min. should be ok.

Do you have aftermarket gauges? Meaning Gauge face covers?

I got the problem fixed. When I took my gauges apart to paint the trim together, the speedo face popped up a little and was making the needle stick. I took everything apart and made sure everything was put back together right. Lesson learned, do it right the first time. Thanks for the help everyone.
