You may have killed the fuel pump running it low on volts. I've seen that before when the alternator has died and the car was driven until the battery went flat.

The alternator does need to come off to replace the regulator so at that point its as easy to just fit a recon, although if you can afford to have the car offline for a few days a regulator is a cheap enough to try. If you buy a recon, make sure its for a V8, not a V6. A lot of places say they are the same, but the rear air ducting is different. The V6 alternator will bolt up but the ducting then won't fit.
