I "believe" the first thing to check/try is to disconnect the battery for a few minutes & see if it resets the computer.

First... You may try calling them, if they're on the west coast, they could still be in their office...

BTW, Hi neighbor, I'm in Altamonte.

Don't worry. Here's what it says in the PowerLoader instructions:

"If the car starts and then stalls, remove the negative battery cable for 1 minute then restart the car."

Happened to me also. After I disconnected/reconnected the battery, the problem was fixed. :seeya
