P0068 will trigger REP. Is your MAF sensor plugged in? P0113 = IAT sensor low(in the MAF). P0102 = MAF sensor low. P0068 sets if the speed density calculated airflow is greater than expected for more than 1 second. This requires a working IAT sensor though. P0068 is common when a tune has not been setup correctly for boost.

Also check that your tuner has not set any of the throttle codes to "not reported".

Those codes could just be from when the MAF was unplugged. IAT sensor is in the MAF. Unless you clear them, they will stay there for a certain number of key on/off cycles.

Sounds like you have some codes set to "not reported." So you won't see them, but they will still trigger REP.

The codes that were set to "not reported " were set to 2nd report MIL and still no codes ..i looked up the owners manual and i found out REP was caused by the coolant system maybe a faulty thermostat or coolant sensor going out bad but my temp gauge has been normal at 210 ...this is driving me nuts

P0068, P0120, P0220, P0315, P1258, P1516, P2101, P2108, P2135 and U0107 should all be set to "0-MIL on first error"

Overheating will trigger Engine Protection Mode and code 1258 should be set, unless it has been disabled.

Its none of the above. Its your Xlink. I had version 1 and it did all the time. Bought version 2 and it was much much better, however, if I sit at idle for long periods of time, or raced the engine hard and let off the gas pedal quickly it will go into reduced engine power. Turn the ignition off, and wait ten seconds then restart and it correct itself. I believe its a heat soak issues with the electronics of the xlink. I never had any of the problems until I started using the xlink for a bigger throttle body.
