I know this is somewhat of a popular method, but you risk frying some expensive electronics (the ECU) doing this.. the chance is small but there..

As for the OP's question it sounds like he put the wrong belt on or reused the stock one (assuming he purchased an underdrive pulley)

If you just replaced it with another stock crank pulley it will probably be OK, but if I was going thru the trouble of doing all of that I'd spring for a new belt, they are usually like $15
