Put the vehicle in neutral and shut it off. ---------- Make absolutely certain when you shut the car off that you don't rotate the key back too far or you will lock the steering wheel and be unable to steer the car. Just turn the key far enough to shut off the engine. Be careful. -------------- Just another thought... once you shut off the motor the car will be very difficult to steer and brake as the power steering and brake systems will be shut down.

What causes your 83 Chevy caprice to shut off while running the air conditioner or heater?

Check for a main vacuum leak. Do you feel a loss of power at idle? The A/C and defrost (which uses the A/C) require power from the engine. If it can handle the accessories (A/C, Defrost) it will shut off. Also the power steering strains the engine, does it shut off when you turn the wheel all the way? If so check for a vacuum leak. If the engine is idling rough, get it fixed.
