Moving one line:

void loop() {
  static int loops = 3;   //FAIL - stops after the 3rd time
  if ( loops){  //fAIL
    loops =  loops - 1;
    for (int thisPin = 1; thisPin < pinCount; thisPin++) { 
  // turn the pin on:
    digitalWrite(thisPin, HIGH);   
    delay(timer);                  
  // turn the pin off:
    digitalWrite(thisPin, LOW);    
 }
