Sure you werent putting diesel in the tank 
Just saw your 2nd post...look for cracks in the serp belt if so replace could be causing it to move also a loose pulley which also could make the belt move could be messing up one of the things on your motor. Did you replace the belt when you got the under drive pulley?

There shouldnt be any reason for the belt to be off track. See whats up with that first. Could be the fuel filter if you got shitty gas (also if you filled up on a near empty tank all the sediment could have washed up and clogged your filter), or the pump. If you know how to check your fuel pressure you should do that. My friend checked it on his car and he had like 2 psi on his 90...which means new fuel pump. But his car started but would die almost right after. If your car stays running its more then likely the fuel filter or something to do with the belt?
SES light on? Also try to find out the code for the belt for the pulley. If the guy at the store wasnt told it had a pulley it could be the wrong belt.

Octane booster wouldnt really do much of anything that the fuel system cleaner hasnt already done. So it could be a array of things..from the fuel filter, possibly the fuel injectors, or something to do with the belt since its not throwing any codes. If the belt went 7k miles without a problem a pulley could be coming loose. Check all the pulleys by hand if one is loose to wobble then thats no good. Also start up the car and watch the pulleys see if any shake.
ya its hard to see if its the pully or the belt! i was just out with the car runing for a few mintes....i am going to call the guy that works on my car..but he doesnt start work untill 6 pm

How old are you by the way? Being a new driver you could have filled the car with diesel or even by accident if your not a new driver. My mom did that once and she was like 40.
