Styling My green fiat stilo project

So found two of the coils to the spark plugs have perished as the car misfired like crazy but the dash clocks are not working right aswell. For some reason its only the speedo counter and the fuel gauge is this caused by the problem coils or a different reason?
 
A few months ago mate and the flickering gauges only started when it miss fired badly
 
hmmmm it is a curious issue, can really see why the coils would effect the dials. have you ordered some new coils???


I just know these Stilo's do really weird things when the battery nears the end of its life, ie throws random fault lights and clocks go weird, also read some where once about a misfire caused by a near dead battery due to the ECU not getting the right Voltage.

Well got two replacements today fitted them and no missfire and the dials work back to how they should again the only conclusion is the damaged coils were arcing when accerating heres a pic of the two damaged and one replacement

Almost forgot sprayed the grill today :lol: heres a before and after pic
 
black grill is defo an improvement.


well as long as everything is working again its a good result, maybe it was causing a grounding issue maybe, I know these Stilos have weird electrics.
 
So update changed the grill badge only slightly as thought the blue badge didnt look right on the grill so the badge now looks like this if anyone is wondering its the same green as the car
