If your belt is fine and in good shape, your alternator isnt putting out enough to satisfy the ME control unit. take a voltage reading of the battery with the engine running, and again at 3000 rpm and report back.

The shutting off thing sounds like a bad crank sensor, especially if there are no codes.

My guesses without seeing the car: replace the voltage regulator on the alternator and replace the crank sensor and your problems will be fixed.
