I have a 1990 beretta Indy with the 3.1L and 5 speed i have done a lot of work on this car in the last year my question for the moment is that sometimes (can't figure a pattern to it) the engine will decide to start idling at about 3000 RPMs and i cant seem to figure out why honestly i have had nothing but problems with this car since i rebuilt the motor last winter lol

I believe it has something to do with the idle sensor, this seems to be one of the things with the Beretta. Hope this helps. Welcome to B'net!!

I forgot to say when i made the original post the Throttle positioning sensor is brand new and i replaced the Idle air control valve when i bought the car in march of 2008 about 15k miles ago

Check the O2 as well I've heard this can do the same thing as well.

Have you checked codes? Or data logged to look for anything unusual like a high MAP reading?
