start with new plugs
To fix a misfire on cylinder 1 in a 1997 Subaru Legacy with a 2.5L engine, start by checking the spark plug and ignition coil for wear or damage, as these are common causes of misfires. Replace any faulty components, and ensure the spark plug gap is correct. Next, inspect the fuel injector for cylinder 1 to ensure it is functioning properly and delivering fuel. Finally, check for vacuum leaks or compression issues in the cylinder, as these can also contribute to misfires.

You have to find out what is causing random misfires in the engine. See related question below.
A flashing check engine light means you are doing serious damage to your catalytic converter due to repeated misfires in one or more cylinders. If you get a code scanner (or go to an autozone, oreilly's etc. where they scan it for free) you will see a code such as P0301 (misfire, cylinder 1). Your catalytic converter is probably shot now. If it is and If you live in a state that does emissions inspections you will need to get the converter replaced after you fix the misfires. An old spark plug will generally cause the misfires.
