I notice that when I hit the gas at 0, my speedo meter wont move until it revs up high enough (3500 rpm or so) after I filled up full tank gas and added fuel injector cleaner. I also did reset my ecu recently as well.. what could be causing this?

Your post doesn't make much sense but I'll take a crack at it. Or maybe you don't know the difference between a "tachometer" and a "speedometer" in that case I would suggest selling your car as you aren't ready for one yet.
So you're driving along and the speedometer won't read until you're going fast enough to be revving ~3500 rpm?
Your speedometer is cable driven (depending on what year your car is) so RPM is irrelevant.
Perhaps your speedo cable is about to fail. Not uncommon.
Or if you are confusing the names of your two primary instruments and your tach isn't reading until you've reved to 3500 I'd suspect something binding on the cluster or possiblely a bad tach wire. The harnesses in these cars are old and will crack.
Providing some more details will help us help you.Last edited by bobbo; 05-24-2014, 07:37 PM.

If you can't take a little poke then perhaps a public forum isn't a good place for you until you grow some thicker skin.
You don't have to get so spun over peoples comments and if "you know exactly what you're talking about" than perhaps you're smarter than all of us and don't need our help after all... or...
You can rephrase and add some info. It's obviously going to make sense to you but not necessarily to everyone else reading and trying to help you.
I apologize if I offended you and will be sure to be less abrasive in the future.
I am glad you got your car sorted out.
