★ Top Answer
The P0496 code for the Chevy Cruze is a common issue that appears when using an OBD scanner to find an issue with the car. This code points to a problem with the "Evaporative Emission System High Purge Flow," often caused by a malfunctioning Vapor canister purge valve. Symptoms may include idle speed problems and fluctuating engine revs as it tries to stabilize. Replacing the purge valve is a straightforward task that can be completed in around an hour. Depending on whether you choose an aftermarket or OEM part, the cost for a replacement valve ranges from $20 to $45.
