If this car is a diesel, they are turned off by a solenoid or actuator that cuts off the fuel supply and it stalls or stops. In other words there is an electric fuel valve that's not shutting off the fuel to stop the motor. You can move this level manually on/off until you get it fixed. BUT gasoline engines are not built this way.
