If you were told the voltage regulator was bad, why in the world would you even try to drive the darn thing?

Swap out the PCM.

I am pretty sure you can install external regulator, but it will take me about 1 hour to figure out how to do that.
It is easier to buy used ECM.

Check the wiring to the O2 sensors to see if they are melted or shorting out on the exhaust. That could be the cause of the fuse blowing.
