Cleared codes with OBD scanner, now car won't start. HELP!!!

I Borrowed a friend's Foxwell NT530 OBD scanner and ran a scan for codes. Car was running fine before, always started right up. I had a CEL and just wanted to check and clear codes to see what popped back up. I cleared each code and now car turns over once and then dies. The battery is fine, not sure what I may have done wrong. What is my best course of action?

Turning over once and then dying is generally an EWS issue. Easy check would be to disable EWS using MSS5X binary modification tool. If that was the issue... may or may not be worth fixing. It does make the car marginally harder to steal.
