Best Answer

The distributor will cease sending current to the plugs while the fuel injector will stop pumping mix into the cylinders. The engine will stop running on its own and (if manual transmission) begin to slow down the car with its inertia or (if automatic) the car will coast. Power brakes and steering will continue to work, for as long as their subsystems have pressure.

Can you turn off and remove an ignition key while driving and if so what happens?

If you accidentally turn the ignition to the locked position while the car is moving then your steering wheel will lock in its current position which is dangerous. Vehicle ignitions that use keys have a built in safety device that prevents the key from being removed while the switch is in any position except "lock". In some older vehicles the key can be removed due to wear on the safety latch. In a vehicle with automatic transmission you cannot turn the ignition to the lock position unless the transmission is in "P" or Park position. With a manual transmission you can switch it off in any gear.
