Misfire, engine light flashing
 

Hi, our Alfa 156, 2.0TS, 2002 is idling like a dog and the engine light is
flashing when revved over about 3000.

Diagnostic just says misfire on cylinder 1.

Spark plug? I sure as hell hope so.

Which is cyl 1? Is it to the right as I stand at the rad looking in the
bonnet?

Number 1 cylinder is always nearest to the cam belts, or to your left
side when looking from front of the car.
Sounds like it could be a spark plug or lead wire.
