Sounds like you corrupted the program in the PCM. If it were me, I would try clearing all the codes and then do a PCM reload . If that doesnt work, disconnect the battery for a couple of minutes then reconnect it, clear any DTC that set from the battery discommect and load my OEM program back in the pcm and then try to reload the current tune.
