Car info would help. Assuming its a '98 or later with Zetec engine, read this: P1381
98 Mystique LS v6 atx 163,000km
97 Contour LX v6 atx 163,000km

P1381 is Camshaft Position Timing Over Advanced (Bank 1).
Not real sure what to suggest on this one. Guess would be Crank Position Sensor (CPS) or Timing/Timing belt.

What year?
Sounds like a VCT problem. The VCT could be hanging up, or , if the timing belt has just been replaced they got it on wrong.

i had the same CEL code for my 98 zetec had it about a year. took it to firestone they said they couldnt find the problem. about two weeks later car died and this was the result of the P1381.
Fuel in my oil = oil change
Fouled spark plugs = new spark plugs
and the kicker i needed a new VCT solenoid
final cost = 516.31 to repair.
