I have an opel corsa 2004 sail 1.4 petrol car. I can start the car normally but after running about 5 minutes, the engine turns off with some jolts. I have to let the engine cool off before starting it again. Because of this, I have left it at home and haven't been able to get reliable answer from technicians. Could somebody help?

As I see, it seems to me like a incorrect fuel/air mixture. Go to someone who has OP - COM, or Opel Scanner and check ECT sensor life data and resistance. Year ago I had the same problem with a same car and all troubles were because the ECT. It`s simple - when you starts the car, the engine is still cold and it needs more fuel then air, so it meens that the mixture is rich, when it warms up it`s the opposite:) Regards
