Why would the engine still be running after the keys have been pulled out of a 2000 Kia Sportage?

Because the ignition switch is defective.
If not, then you may be be "dieseling" - meaning run on of the engine - that is BAD and you have to find out why it is doing that - usually something is misadjusted in the engine's carburetor or fuel injection system (usually a mechanical control)

How do you replace timing belt on kia sportage if it is already broke?
what year ? if it is say 2000 sportage with double overhead cam, possible real damage done, this IS an interference engine. In english, if timing belt breaks while engine is running severe damage can be done to valves, cams, pistons,etc. A $50.00 timing belt could easily cost you now $2500.00 to repair engine. If it just broke sitting still and NOT running, $ 458.00 to fix ,include water pump , it is driven by timing belt.

Why do engine coolant fan keeping running after engine is turn off on 1999 intrigue?
The engine coolant fan can keep running after the engine is turned off in any car because the temperature gauge is in the radiator. As long as the radiator is still hot, the fan will keep running until the temperature gauge says it has cooled enough.
What would cause the engine cooling fan in a 1998 Saturn SL2 to remain running after the engine is turned off?
I've seen this happen in Honda's. Does it remain running for long periods of time or never shut off? If it is only running for a short time, it's cooling off your engine still because it's still really hot. There's nothing wrong with this.

The main reason for performing a dyno test on an engine is to make sure the engine is running smoothly after changes have been made. When you adjust things like fuel and air, you still need to make sure the engine is running properly.
