That sounds a lot more like crossed and shorting wires than 3 bad PCMs in a row. I would start looking at the wiring harness from the firewall out looking for wear points.

I've been finding all kinds of crazy wiring in my truck. Trying to find all the weak spots is a joke. I'm adding extra grounding points as failsafes against 30 year old wiring. I eventually need to completely remove my dash and really have at 'er and do it right.

I hope fixing your scorched wire helps.
