Default code P0068??

As I posted earlier this week, my car has been having some problems after having a tune done on it. It runs just fine most of the time but sometimes when I start it the car immediately goes into "REDUCED ENGINE POWER" and idles terribly, check engine light is on. All I have to do is turn it off and wait a minute, then it restarts just fine, the check engine light even goes away on its own. Yesterday it did it again and I stuck the scanner on it and the code it gave was "P0068" and under it I believe it said "throttle body correlation"...or something like that. I know I should just take it to the tuner, but he is 6 hours away and I'm trying to avoid having to go over there again, especially since the wather in south Texas is not too friendly right now. Any tips or ideas would be greatly appreciated.

P0068 MAP/MAF - Throttle Position Correlation

imo, without seeing, it's gonna be hard to diagnose. i would take it to the 'tuner' asap. or even the dealer, just be prepared.
