check your fusible link its probably falling apart in the underhood fuse box its the wire that sticks up all the way towards the passenger side

how much power and what if you changed the crank pulley?

not much but its not a good idea to change pulleys either way and imho underdrive crank pulleys are horrid ive seen them do way more damage then they do good the principles behind it is just retarded you dont add power and take away cooling efficiency also the crank pulley would work opposite of the way your wanting it will slow everything down not speed it up honestly like i said before its probably your fusible link it can look perfectly fine and be bad check your voltage at both sides of this

I've heard the same thing about the after market drive pulleys.

looking at the engine from the front of the car its on the drivers side in the fuse box it is all the way on the left (4th on the top to the left) its marked as "ALT 1.25b" when you look at it it should make a u shape replacing a fuse basically you would check it the same way as a fuse check both sides of it with the car off hell it might fall apart when you touch it like mine did it looked perfect but as soon as i touched it it cracked in half if it is bad you need to pull out that section of the fuse box and the fusible link is bolted into the box if you still need more help i can post pics later
