As per what dylan said, remove the factory memcal from your nvram board. See if the engine will start and run (which i bet that it wont) that will prove where or not it was running off the Nvram or the limp mode from the factory memcal.

The fact that the fan is 'stuck on' points to limp mode being active...

Yes that does sound right. If you have a gq-4x programmer you need to carefully pull the nvram chip off, put a fresh copy of 11p (stacked, 128kb file) on it then put it back together and in the car an upload your tune again. That should get you back to where you were.
