So lately my 2002 Acura RSX base with auto transmission and it has 151,000 Miles is acceleration either slow and or not accelerating at all. Today when I was driving to work and I stopped at the red light and when it turned green I pressed on the gas but it did not wanna go so I pressed the gas pedal more and it finally moved and once I got it to 40 Mph I let loose of the gas pedal just to maintain the speed, while driving at 40 I started to realize that I was losing speed and pretty quick also and I pressed on the gas more and nothing happened and I just kept losing speed and so I checked if no one is behind and getting ready to move off the road so I do not get rear ended and cause a accident.. Luckily no one was behind and I quickly turned in a parking lot and parked my car and I felt like it was because of my breaks because nothing popped up on my dash of any engine problems or anything. So I pressed on my break peddle and continued pressing it and it felt like it loosened up and then I continued my trip to work with no problems and then once I got off and drove home I had no problems either. Anybody know what could be wrong? and the breaks and rotors were replaced last year but the car had to sit and was rarely driven for 8 months.

Are you sure the parking brake was off? Maybe a caliper was seized after not driving it for a while. Lift the car, put into neutral and try to spin the wheels to see if there's any resistance.

Yes the parking break was off, I think the calipers ain't letting go right away and that it is keeping the car from going. But now there is a bad vibrations coming from the engine while accelerating and I just got the engine mounts replaced so i am getting that checked out soon.
