Why does my engine stop running after I take my foot off the gas pedal on a 1994 Grand Am SE V6 3.1 liter engine?

Could be many factors, but assuming car is in otherwise maintained condition, suspect bad fuel filter.

1996 grand am when it is running it runs greatbut when you step down on the foot pedal it stalls out?
You are flooding the engine with fuel when you step down the pedal, and that stalls the engine. This is probably because your car timing is behind. A good tune-up and adjusting your ignition timing will solve this problem.
Does the Mercedes 2003 and above consume gas if it's running and i am not pressing the gas pedal?
If the engine is running it is burning fuel, whether the gas pedal is pressed or not.
Does gas enter the engine when the car is off and you push the gas pedal?
If your engine has a carburetor, a small amount of fuel will be sprayed in to the intake manifold when accelerator is depressed, and engine isn't running. This is fuel stored in the accelerator pump reservoir to prevent hesitation. So if the engine isn't running, it will spray the first time accelerator pedal is pressed and it won't introduce additional fuel no matter how many times you press the gas pedal after the first press. The engine needs to be running for the accelerator pump well to refill. If your asking because you're wondering if pressing the gas pedal will flood the engine making it hard to start, the answer is No, it won't flood the engine. If your engine does not have a carburetor, then it's fuel injected. No fuel at all will enter the engine with the gas pedal pressed, engine not running. The engine has to be cranking (starter engaged to start engine) for the fuel system to operate. 0 chance of fuel if the engine is not cranking or running to activate fuel injection.

How do fix a Nissan Sentra 06 1.8 liter when you can not accelarate during stepping on the gas pedal?
If a 2006 Nissan Sentra 1.8 Liter will not accelerate by stepping on the gas pedal, it is probably a compression problem. Check the MAP (Manifold Actual Pressure) Sensor. This sensor is responsible for letting the computer know how much pressure is in the manifold when the engine is running. Also check the EFI (Electronic Fuel Injector) or carburetor and the Speed Sensor.
Why a 1997 Toyota corolla brake pedal is soft when the engine is running and when the engine is off pedal is firm what could cause this?
Posible air in the brake line system. The behavior you described is normal operation. The brake cylinder is power assisted by engine vacuum. When the engine is off you don't have vacuum or the power assist. When the engine is started, the pedal will immediately soften up as the vacuum comes online.

Why does our 1997 k2500 have low brake pedal only when 350 motor is running?
Pedal pumps up fine, but when you run the engine, the brake booster applies more force to the lines. Thus compressing any air that may be in there. You will need to bleed the brakes more. I sometimes bleed the brakes with the engine running to correct this.
