P0068 MAP/MAF - Throttle Position Correlation.
P0507 Idle Air Control System RPM Higher Than Expected.
Dandy. I can see how that second code got interpreted.
Code 68 is the one to concentrate on. Code 507 is just indicating the result of the problem. It will not be of any help with the diagnosis. There are two ways to approach this. The best way is with a scanner so you can view live data. Code 68 is saying engine speed is not consistent with how far the accelerator pedal is pushed, or when you have electronic throttle control, engine speed is not what is expected for how much the throttle blade is open. The scanner will let you see what the engine computer is seeing and responding to. The second approach, and to say this a different way, there is likely a vacuum leak.
Vacuum leaks cause engine speed to increase without a corresponding increase in power. The engine computer is seeing the throttle is closed, yet engine speed indicates the throttle is open. Start by pinching off various vacuum hoses to see if idle speed drops. Listen around intake manifold gaskets, or spray water or carburetor cleaner on the gaskets to see if idle speed is affected.
