yes the voltage regulator is part of control module. You need to replace the module, no parts are serviced for it.

The computer on that is called a "power module" its located in the right front behind the battery. Its a fairly large black plastic item with large holes at either end for the fresh air to run thru it.

with a fully charged battery it will be at 12 or 13 volts. after it runs for about 10 minutes it will drop to 8 volts

I find that strange that just idling or running will drain your battery so fast. Is the battery 'good'?
I assume the car dies if you disconnect the battery after starting it?
You'll want to verify the wires going to the alternator are good. Esp the ground.

Usually there is a wire to the PCM that controls the magnetic field on the alternator ( this determines how much "V" the alternator will oputput). Check that too.

This is all under the assmption that:

I'm no expect on that year's PCM but I'll trust the post.
