The Chevy Cruze P0496 code is a fairly common fault code that is given when You use an OBD scanner to diagnose a problem with the vehicle. The indicates that You have an "Evaporative Emission System High Purge Flow". The most common cause for this code to be indicated is a bad or faulty Vapor canister purge valve. You will typically notice it because You will have idle speed issues, the engine will rev up and down to find the proper idle speed. This is a fairly easy replacement that can be down in about 1 hour. The price for a replacement purge valve will range from $20 - $45 depending on if its an aftermarket or OEM product.
