Well, there's a few possibilities for both of those codes coming back together so fast. The ECM runs a self-test on the evap system at start up. It closes the Purge valve and the Vent valve together. Those are the only 2 valves on this system. With those 2 valves closed it then watches the Fuel Tank Pressure sensor to see if too much vacuum is developing during a pre-set amount of time. Thats how the p0496 code is set. The Code description is "Fuel Tank Pressure Sensor indicates vacuum during a non-purge condition". I'm assuming you had 12 volts (or battery power) on the orange/black wire with the Key On. And 2.9 volts on the other White wire.
Those are correct readings.
The P0443 is the ECM either detecting something wrong on the Control wire (white wire) for whatever reason, Short to Ground, Short to power, Or open circuit. But you don't seem to have any of those. If you did, you would not be getting the 2.9 volts. If it were a short to ground, it would be 0 volts. Short to power you would have 12v. Open circuit you would have OL on your meter. And yes, a failed ECM can do all kinds of things. But before condemning the ECM you would have to check all of its Powers(12v) and Ground connections. Thats a rule of thumb before condemning a module. Plus, they can be very expensive. At this point considering you are low on the diagnostic equipment a shop would have, I think I would try 1 more purge valve from the dealership if they will give you a trade in. But this time, tell them what's going on, Every detail. Dealerships will see these type of issues more than any other shop would. They might know right away what is the most common cause for both of these codes together.
To be honest the running condition for the P0496 is that the P0443 is Not Set. I don't want to guess what is happening and have you replaced an ECM just to have the same codes come back again. At that point you will be beyond frustrated. You wouldn't even be able to replace the ECM because they need to be programmed to the VIN.
On both of our databases if the voltage readings are within limits, it replaces the ECM, but that is always a definite last thing we want to do.
But I think you should ask the dealership if they have seen this issue, there is no technical service bulletins yet for this because the car is probably not old enough and they haven't seen this issue enough to send out a TSB on it.
I wondered too, if you erase both codes, does the P0443 come back at just Key On or do you have to run the car first and then they both come back? And the fact that the car is stumbling and stalling, that tells me that there really is a problem somewhere and this might not just be an ECM glitching out on you.
So, after all that, try one more purge valve, see what the dealership might say before we go testing all the powers and grounds to the ECM.
One extra thought here, I had someone suggest checking the new Purge valve before you return it for any pieces of the charcoal canister in the valve keeping it open. I hadn't thought of that. A failed charcoal canister with debris going through the evap hoses. Or even take the canister off and shake it, see if any pieces fall out.
Here is a picture of a failed charcoal canister. It can be caused by overfilling the gas tank after the handle has already auto-shut off.
This also explains the codes, the purge valve is actually stuck open and that is completing the circuit, so the ECM will see 12 volts on the control side without commanding the valve on causing the p0443. The flow without being commanded on is causing the p0496.
