You need to find out why the fuse keeps blowing. Clearly something is drawing a _lot_ of current to blow a 100 Amp fuse. There’s probably no need to remove the remote start but something isn’t wired correctly. Fix that and your rough running problem might go away too.

I suggest that you give the installer a chance to fix the problem before you spend any more money.  
Call the installer, tell him that he needs to come to your home (or wherever your disabled car is located), and give him one opportunity to rectify his botched installation.

+1

The installer deserves an opportunity to make it right. You learn a little about people when they do things right, and a lot when they do things wrong.
