Hi.  I seem to have an issue when starting the car from cold.

The car starts fine from cold but after around 30-60 secs, it starts vibrating/shuddering and the engine stalls.
A message comes up stating: start/stop system fault.  Function unavailable. No other errors or fault codes come up.

I wait about 1 minute and start up the car again.  Sometimes it starts fine from the second attempt and this time no vibrating/shuddering or stalling.
Sometimes it takes 2 or 3 further attempts to start the car eventually without stalling but then it runs fine.

The strange thing is that it only does this at cold start.  The car runs fine for the rest of the day with several engine starts without stalling or vibrating. Also the start/stop system works fine for the rest of the day.  This has happened at the current time which is during summer and not at cold weather conditions.

I have bought a new battery as the battery was a bit old but the problem persisted even after installing a new battery.

Any help in identifying the cause of this issue would be appreciated.

Did you have the new battery coded to the car? It won't work properly until you do.

Yes, the new battery coded to the car.

The car stalled again this morning at cold start and after a couple of tries it started, no faults came on the dash and the car worked fine for the rest of the day.

I have a basic bluetooth OBD2 scanner so I connected it after the car was idling with no issues.  The scanner showed two fault codes: (also see attached image)
- OBD-II: P0016 Crankshaft position/camshaft position, bank 1 sensor A - correlation.
- Engine control unit: 14868 
P001600: Crankshaft Position-Cramshaft Position, Correlation Bank 1 Sensor A
PO34100: Camshaft Pos. Sensor Circ., Range/Performance

Could the above fault codes have anything to do with the car stalling at cold start?

@Steve Q Thanks for the links, I will have a look 👍

You're welcome 🙂 

Yes. I believe a crank sensor can.
