What does it say when you hook the tuner back up? Will it allow you to reload the stock program?

If you turn the key on does the WTS light come on? If not check all of the fuses under the dash and under the hood, several are tied to the PCM and could have popped, but It sounds like the PCM is stuck with a partial program and cant do anything.

Contacting Superchips is probably your only option at this point.

Not if it's stuck in the programmer.
Sounds like a call to Superchips is in order first thing Tuesday morning.
