Best Answer

1st answer. You could damage the fuel pump and or transmission

2nd answer. Nothing, it will not move but will roll until it stops.

3rd answer: Most vehicles, with automatic transmission, of later models, will not allow the car key to be removed from the ignition if it is not in park. This is to remind the driver to put the car in park prior to leaving the vehicle unattended. So if you turn off the engine in an area on an decline (front of car angling below rear of car), the car will roll forward. If you are in an incline position (rear of car angling below front of car, then the car will not move, but you cannot remove the keys. If it is a standard transmission vehicle (stick shift) then there is no park and you would "park" the car in either 1st gear or reverse depending on the incline, and then set the parking brake.

What happens if you turn a car off while in drive?

Are you stopped or are you driving down the road? Not all cars are identical in what they will do but you have a chance of the steering wheel locking if you turn the key completely off. If you simply turn the key to the accessory position which will cut the power to the motor you will still have steering control but it will be difficult. If you are sitting still when you do this nothing will happen simply place the car in park.

You need to check your timing belt if it is not in time it will not start or run for a little then shut off.

You'll damage (probably seriously) the engine and related components such as the transmission and drive-shaft - how bad will depend on how "off" the timing is.
