Default check engine light with code

well i finally put my car back to stock since its going to ford tomorrow and the check engine light came on. so i put my tuner on and got this code:
P0301 FALT CYA
MSFR DET CY1

dose anyone know what that means and is it safe to drive like that or am i going to do engine damage?

Yes that is a misfire code and yes it is telling you that you have a misfire on cylinder 1. Does the car feel as though it is missing? If so you probably have a failed COP. Replace the COP and the spark plug clear the code and you should be good to go.

What do you mean, what else could it be? You just said you know you have a bad one? Ford will diagnose the problem and swap it our under warranty with a bit of luck. So you are taking it back totally stock yea?
