P0068 MAP/MAF is Throttle Position Correlation.In this error code:--- From the error code P0068 you have its indicating a bad throttle body or throttle actuator controller.. The 2 tps sensors inside read each other and if they differ for a few seconds or milliseconds then you get a this error code with reduced power. In some cases the new connector and wiring to the throttle actuator is required and in some cases getting the throttle body cleaned helps.---------------
And code P0496 - "Evaporative Emission System High Purge Flow".------------In this error the purge valve needs to be replaced. The purge valve is mounted on the inlet manifold under the hood.Its on the top of the intake manifold, passenger side. Two hoses (one on each side) and a wire harness on the front of it. It has a red w/blue stripe and brown w/white stripe wire harness connected to it.Remove and replace this valve.-----------------This will help.Thanks.Helpmech.

What do Fault codes P0068 mean?

P0068 means that the Throttle Position Sensor doesn't agree with the Manifold Absolute Pressure Sensor; the readings it gets from the two sensors don't make sense with each other. If someone has replaced one of those two sensors, they may have put the wrong one in. Otherwise, one of those two sensors is bad... in which case your car should have given you a second error code telling which of those sensors it thinks is bad.

P0068, P0171, and P0446 and new ones down below

-I hate to say that but absolutely NO. If you don't know much about car. All these codes are emission code.
P0068 Mean Throttle position sensor.
P0171 Mean system too lean.
P0446 Mean evaporator emission control system has not correct flow
P0507 Mean Idle air control is too hight.
P0116 Mean engine coolant temperature.

Need to have a mechanic to check one by one to determine which part is effect before replace it.

Good luck

My 2007 cadillac cts engin service light is on. I used OBD-2 code reader to read it, got a alarm code P0496. What's the meaning of P0496?thanks.

Check the gas cap,also,it could mean the evap system is not working,or you have run out of gas recently,if all this checks out ok,then the tank is not venting properly.

My check engine light is on so I ran a scan with my personal car code reader & got code p0496. I called chevrolet & they told me its p0442. Which is correct?

p0496 is evap emission is high purge flow fault, p0442 is emission control system( small leak) the meaning is about the same. check for a bad gas cap first. sometimes this will set a check engine light. loosen cap and see if this is the problem. if it is. usually if you turn cap only a little the light will go out. but if bad enough just change cap.
