Angry 98 contour auto throwing code 1383 again! @@ !

seems i bought this car back in july of last years so i havent even gotten a year out of it , and i have replaced the timing belt 2 times the code has come up like 5 times and I am tired of going back to the garage to hear them tell me it is the timing belt and tensioner and then the timing belt and gasket and well the timing shouldnt go out that much or frequently so what gives here/ no wonder the previous owner dumped the car!!!

okay what happened is we did the routine oil changes ran some seafoam though her not even the required amount only did 1/4 solution ran it for about 30 minutes and when i pulled in the garage she was rough i figured it might be she would striaghten out once i got some good clean oil in there but nope when i turned her on the CEL came on and when i got home the code i pulled was p1383. i just changed the plug a month ago should i go ahead and change them again and hope it resolves the issue? what if it doesnt?
i got 5 cars at the house and seems always 2 of them are down for some thing or another... be nice if just once we had them all running at once..
and so how about that light bulb that burns for 50 years... can they make a car to run that long.. i bet they can and won't!
