IIRC, the 1383 code is related to the VCT. If you have a misfire, the check engine light will flash whenever it happens.

variable cam timing.
It's the solenoid that is attached to the exhaust cam. unplug the plug plugged intot he valve cover and see if the car runs a little better. If it does you need to replace the VCT solenoid.. And it's not cheap.

OK i looked up the codes.
p1383 = Cam timing excessive. Possible skipped a tooth on the timing belt..
Pull the timing cover off and see if the belt is loose.
p0103 did not come up. I'm not sure what that is.
Here is a OBDII code list. http://www.obd-codes.com/trouble_codes/ford/index.php

Can't find p0102
p1380 = VCT solenoid problem.
You need to replace it. I suggest getting a book on the car and finding out how to do it. From what I hear its not that difficult of a job but I'm not totally sure.
