hi... I've been having a serious problem with my stilo… on Christmas day it started juddering violently when idle... now I've changed all sparks and the offending coil of cylinder 2... all other cylinders seem fine and no.2 is firing, but not actually doing anything, the car seems fine when throttle is down and on the move. error codes coming up are P0300 & P0302. air intake is fine and all connecting pipes are also fine. i'm at a total loss, and don't want to drive it till it's sorted!:bang:

shaking stilo
Remove spark plugs..
Line them up
Compare colours.. thats your 'cylinder health check'
1 x oily plug issue is that cylinder
2x adjacent oily plugs..or rusty..!!
Suspect cylinder head issue
All 4 oily.. other failure
Let us know what you find
How does make it lose oil..??
If No.2 cylinder is firing but doing nothing (what do you mean by "doing nothing"?) then only the fuel injector is left to check.
If you have one of those glass-bottomed bulbs (T5) you can unfold the metal tangs that are folded over each side of the base and they're almost exactly the right size to stick into the fuel injector's electrical connector. The "injector" (bulb) should flash as the engine runs, if you have juice at the injector.
If it's flashing then the injector could be faulty. The easiest test is to remove no.2 injector and swap it with no.4 (I think that's the easiest one to access). If the problem moves to no.4 cylinder, then you know the injectore is the problem.

thanks, we were gonna replace the injector, moneys is really tight, so its just praying its just no.2 and clean the others. and as for doing nothing ' when we removed coil to there was no change in the engine at all, as to when we removed the others there was a significant change in engine sound and movement'
I would clean this device! Dont know the english word for it....

If you engine is shaking while running stationary it is either this device/sparkplugs or the 2 parts that hold the engine in place.
Good luck!
