Hi, my car has started to shuddered when I turn it on sounds like a misfire or something. It does drive but when driving will shake sometimes and then the stability control light comes on. Any ideas?

It does sounds like the car is misfiring which can turn the warning lights on. To be sure we should run the codes. here are two guides that can help us fix it:

and

Please run down these guides and report back. Can you please shoot a quick video with your phone so we can see what's going on? that would be great. You can upload it here with your response.

Thanks for the video. Lets remove the spark plugs and do a compression test. these guides will help us:

and

keep the plugs in order and send pics of the electrodes.
