It sounds like there is a problem with the ignition switch not allowing power to be cut off from you ignition source.

The idle speed could be set too high. Adjust the idle speed on the carburetor or throttle body, and then it should shut off just fine.

If it is just sputtering like it's trying to stay running, you need higher octane fuel in it or put a fuel system cleaner in the tank... I prefer chemtool B-12

Why won't the radiator fan on 2000 dodge caravan turn off?

If it is an electric fan, it may continue to run after the engine is shut off until the engine temperature drops below a certain point. This is normal and the fan should shut off after a while (definitely not longer than 20-30 minutes after the engine is stopped). If the fan continues to run for hours after the engine is shut down, then there is a problem that needs to be addressed. Disconnect the battery until the vehicle can be serviced.
