My Chrysler 300 M started losing power on the freeway and then the engine died at the offramp. I got it started and limped home. The check engine light came on and when I checked the codes I got P0068 and P0108. Please tell me what is wrong. Thanks.

Hi there:DTC P0068 - Throttle Body Airflow Performance
The ECM detected that the airflow was more than the calculated airflow rate, condition met for 0.2 second. In this diagnostic, the actual throttle position and airflow rate are compared to an expected throttle position and airflow rate based on the engine load. The ECM determines engine load based on inputs from the mass airflow (MAF) sensor and the manifold absolute pressure (MAP) sensor. The ECM performs further comparisons to determine if a sensor has failed, and then it sets DTCP0068.


  • Check for air leaks after the MAF sensor mounting location
  • Check for air leaks in the PCV system and in its related hoses and/or valve
  • Check for moisture somewhere in the Air Induction system
  • Check for a skewed or out-of-range ECT sensor
  • MAF sensor wiring routed too close to ignition wires or motors
  • MAF sensor low reference circuit has high resistance
  • MAF sensor is contaminated or dirty
  • Throttle plate dirty or contaminated
  • ECM has failed


Hope this helps.

Testimonial: "Thanks so much for your help. What about the other error code P0108?"

SOURCE: check engine light

thats not typical.
actually it looks like someone may have done some service and disconnected some things to make all those codes set like that.i would recommend resetting the codes to be sure they are all true issues.then solve them one at a time.put a obd2 on it and clear all codes and then drive it about 20 or 30 miles.

SOURCE: Check engine light comes on and the vehicle starts

okay lets start with the po 068 & po 108, check the connection to the mass air flow sensor if conn are good replace the mass air flow sensor, that should solve the two codes, now the po455 is a evap gross leak detected. first is to make sure gas cap is good and on tight, i f it is then look for broken evap lines or hoses, it a line that sends vaccum to evap canister and another line that send fuel vapors to engine and canister check lines, also there are valve that you should check vent and purge valves, this part you may need a shop to test valves, hope this is helpful,

Check engine light usually means some failure in emissions control
system. Kia will have to hook up and get diagnostic code or codes.

On my 2006 Chrysler 300, the brake light, check engine light and other minor dash lights are on and the transmission won't shift out of 1st gear. Any idea what's going on?

If a car goes into limp mode, its likely something spectacular has gone wrong and the car is protecting itself from major damage. You will probably have to go to a Chrysler Dealer to rectify and get them to clear the fault off the cars computer.

Engine light flashing and horsepower is low 2001 chrysler town and country

Hi there:

If the Check Engine Light comes on in the city but goes off on the freeway, then the fault is present during city driving conditions. Pay attention to whether or not the vehicle runs or drives any differently when the Check Engine Light illuminates. If vehicle performance does change, drive the car as little as possible and take it to be checked by a service professional as soon as possible. If there is no change in vehicle performance, you can drive home, but have it inspected as soon as possible. In this condition, you run a risk of the vehicle dying or not starting.

* The Check Engine Light comes on and stays on.
If the Check Engine Light illuminates constantly during driving with no noticeable driving or performance problems, there is a permanent fault in the emission control system. When this happens, the computer that controls the emission system usually has a backup program that runs while the fault is present. (These backup programs are often referred to as "limp home" mode programs.) You should get the vehicle serviced as soon as possible, but in most cases, the vehicle will continue to operate, though you run a risk of it dying or not starting.



Hope this helps; also keep in mind that your feedback is important and I`ll appreciate your time and consideration if you leave some testimonial comment about this answer.

Thank you for using FixYa, have a nice day.

What is limp mode?

Hi, limp mode or (limp-in mode or limp-home mode)occurs when your computer in your car is not communicating with the sensors on your engine. On some cars(volkswagon Passat for example) If you disconnect the battery then the computer will lose all of the settings and will go into limp-in mode.
The car will have little power and a top speed of only about 30 miles per hour.
The function of limp-in mode is to get you to a place that can repair the car but the car is barely drivable.

Check engine light on, while decellerating on freeway offramp the engine dropped down to an idle. when pressing the accelerator the engine barely raises the rpm's. linkage seems ok.

Stop running while doing 65mpr on freeway, first started dieing with fast left turn, got worse started dieing when i hit a bup in road, then started dieing with right or lift fast turns and bups in road,...

Check the Timing belt and the fuses. If you have installed anything that has wires that you connected into the fuse block check those to make sure one hasn't come free and shorted a fuse on the fuse block or Power distribution box in the engine compartment. Also, and I know this is a long shot, check the oil level in the engine to make sure your bump is working and that the sensor is responding correctly. I had a sensor go out once and when the engine got low on oil it didn't register but when I made turns you could hear it and feel it with a lose of power.

Transmission shifts to second gear and stays there

Could Be that your TCM is losing power. I would check to see if the TCM is firmly attached to the passenger side fender wall. If not it could be losing the ground.
