This happened to my 97 GS-T. It turned out to be the crank pulley. The crank pulleys are actually two separate pieces bonded together. It's not a very noticeable thing when they start coming apart. I had problems keeping my belts on for about 7 months before I finally found my crank pulley coming apart. Try to wiggle the outside of the pulley before you put the belts on next time, and I mean yank on it. Don't use a hammer or any thing, but if you get any movement, it needs replaced. If there is no movement that way, jack up the front of the car or put it on ramps or something. You will also need to take of the plastic cover that is over the crank pulley because you need to see the pulley from the front. With NO belts on, start the car (leave it in park or neutral w/ e-brake on and chocked rear wheels). Go out to the front of the car and watch the pulley at idle without any tension on it. If it flops or vibrates, replace it. I stress that you do these things without the belts on because the tension the belts create (if this is the problem) will pull constantly on the bottom of the pulley and cause the pulley to be running on a constant angle to which you will never be able to tell if that is your problem.
Good luck, hope this helps.
