Once it has managed to escape the Earths gravitational pull and then the suns gravitational pull, a space craft will have enough speed to carry on indefinitely, so long as it does not collide with anything. If it has enough fuel and thrust to get up to this escape speed, then it wont stop, since there will be no forces to slow it down in space, even once the engines have stopped.
