When driving fiat punto 07 it vibrates between 80 to 100 k

Could be tires, driveshaft u-joits, engine mounts, engine miss, exhaust system, or many others. See if you can make it do this sitting still and reving engine. If not, start with tires.

Fiat punto 2002 stutters when driven

The amber MiL light, lights on a number of problems. You need to get it sorted, you could miss a serious fault, and cause More damage. Needs to go on a code reader. From past experience with Punto's, the stutter could be a ignition coil fault (quite common) or a spark plug, both will cause the light to come on. Good Luck.
