I've read about this being a recall on the '99 model. My uncle's '99 Z does this from time to time.

I'm thinking low battery voltage - that's what the TSB was about on the 99 car clusters with the trip resetting to zero and gauges sweeping. If the trip is also resetting each time I'd make sure the battery is fully charged first.
