You're getting a code of 1, which is not a valid code as they are all 4 digits. For instance, the code for "everything's OK" is 1444. The long light indicates "here's the next code" then the short lights are for the code. You're getting a long light followed by a single short light, long light, short light, repeating. Must be an issue with the ECM but never heard of it doing this.

"1000 End of output - no more fault codes This code shows the end of the stream of error codes, and tell you that the computer is finished showing them to you. "

From the DIY section: When you are finished reading the codes, you can reset the computer and clear them all out. Make sure that the last code (1000) has occurred, and then press down on the gas pedal for more than 10 seconds. This should clear out the memory of the DME. Repeat the fault code reading process, and the computer should generate code 1444, which means that there are no faults stored. You can also reset an E30 DME by disconnecting battery for 30 seconds.

Thanks for the info everyone, I thought I was going crazy or my eyes were bad or something, couldn't make anything out of those flashes. Will try and reset, drive it for a while, and try again. Figure I try and read the codes because was idling a little off, nothing to alarming.
