Could be several things. The P068A code refers to a power loss issue to the PCM....it's relay or the wiring to it could be faulty.
If the PCM doesn't get a good power supply, it can go crazy.
If you have two batteries under the drivers seat, (you should have with it being a RWD), the front one may be shot....best get your battery/s load tested. The front battery supplies all the electrical gubbins while the egine is running after starting.
