Default Accelerator Problem Ram3500 Van

I have a 2002 Dodge Ram3500 Van and am having a problem when I press the accelerator when first putting it in gear. The engine run fine but when I put it in gear and press the accelerator the vehicle doesn't move. I can put it in neutral and press the gas and it revise up fine but put it back in gear and vehicle won't move. If I let it idle for a short while and then put it in gear it seems to work fine. Also I have a similar issue occasionally at a stop sign and I press the accelerator. After the engine is warmed up it seems to work fine. It gets a little scary when your making a turn at a traffic light and this happens with traffic coming at you. Anybody else have this issue or a solution?

No the engine will not rev up unless you put it in neutral.
