-What do you mean by "walk torwards the motor"? more detail please.
 
One possibility: Did you use new after market pulleys (tensioner/idler)? Mine did that with after market pulleys. I replaced them with Mitsu ones - problem disappeared. The after market pulley lip is just slightly different (more rounded or thicker I can't remember) which did it.
