SOURCE: My Opel Corsa dies down during driving, it will only start again after 7 to 10 mins, l have no clue whats happening.

No idea offhand to be honest i would need my head under the bonnet to know what wrong .could be anything from the gauze filter in the fuel tank on the bottom of the fuel pump becoming chocked up and leaving the car allows it to drop away to a faulty pump overheating or the contacts ,maybe even a ignition module overheating ,Best advice is ask a local mechanic to have a look for you as normally these early opel corsas with the 4 cylinder engine are bullet proof they are even valve free if the timing belt snaps .

Sounds like you not getting enough fuel. Try replacing you fuel filter which sits under neath the rear near the tank. Just follow the line from the tank and you'll see it or it can be a faulty fuel pump You should get 3 bars pressure from it.

SOURCE: timing marks on engine

Use the timing marks on the damper for the crank and bring it to 0 on the cam there are marks that correspond with a mark on the head. Look on autozone dot com and put in the year make and model then look at the free repair guides.

Opel Corsa. It's hard to start. Can it be a problem with the temperature switch?

Question edited for clarity. It can't be blamed on your wife!
"can it be I problem wife".

Unlikely to be a temperature sensor or switch, because when you start it, the engine is cold. It is a known issue!

Opel corsa baklie 1.6 sport 2007di engine light dont com on and dont haf sperk

the signal from the crank angle sensor thats mounted against the block pointing to the crank pulley is what tells the ecu that the engine is turning and to provide spark and injector pulse
so your possible problem area is the ecu
also check the ecu harness plug wires and pins
make sure the crank angle sensor is plugged in

I'd guess: not enough fuel flow. could be a fuel filter, fuel pump, fuel pump relay, fuel pressure regulator. No check engine codes? I would think there should be some that would help diagnose.
