He had it done (at a shop I assume). The fuel pump relay (or fuse) gets removed. The chemical gets hooked into the fuel rail. Then the car is started and runs off of the chemical until the can empties. (The chemical also cleans the injectors.) Then the car stalls. The relay (or fuse) is replaced, the can removed, and then you drive away.
I think the problem he had was when the chemical ran out, the ECU saw a fuel starvation situation and enabled limp-home mode. He cycled the car off and then on and the ECU returned the car to normal operation.
(BTW, you'll get the same situation if you aggressively corner your car with a small amount of fuel in the tank.)
