90% chance you have the wrong sized belt on there. Order a new belt from Mitsu, some auto parts stores tend to give out the incorrect belt.

? I think your first description was better. There is a single serpentine belt that drives the water pump, alternator, power steering and ac if you have it. The tensioner pulley is spring loaded.

I just get OEM belts. There are two sizes for 04 evolutions, one size without ac and one size with. Obviously the one without ac (the one I am using now) is shorter.
