CAR WON'T START

[DALLAS]

Hello there, I have a small problem
I can't start any car in this game
At first, when I start a fully new game I can start it and drive it normally
But after I turn the car off I can't start it anymore
It's just making starting sound and nothing more

My options on auto clutch are set on "on"

The problem is, that I am not sure if I'm doing something wrong or just the game is doing something weird but the only time I can normally drive is right after starting a new game
I saw a lot of videos about this and I've tried things from tutorials but it makes me crazy that nothing helped

Can anyone help me please?

I'll be very glad for ANY help

Did you put gas in the tank? Did you top off the oil in the engine and water in the radiator (if it has one)?

You kinda need to do those things. The gas tank is generally somewhere on the opposite side of the car from the engine; so somewhere on the front sides for anything with an engine in the back, and somewhere in the normal place for anything with an engine with the front.

Lift the hood and pour oil into the engine, and water into the radiator. There should be a cap somewhere to hit to open both- don't forget to close it after you're done! If the radiator is anything but a silver color, you'll need to keep refilling it until you find a replacement.

As for the engine, if you can't find an oil cap to open it up, that means you put oil in the gas. Anything between 3%-10% oil will work. The game will tell you the mixture.

At the start, you'll have two green jerry cans. One contains gas, the other contains water. There's a small yellow container filled with oil, and there's a few barrels with other fluids in them. Note that fluids aren't limited to those specific containers- you can find diesel in oil cans, blood in jerry cans, gas in radiators on abandoned cars, oil in the gas tank of buses, beer in the tanker truck etc.

So, figure out what objects contain liquids, and search them at stops when you find them for necesary fuel.

I would highly recommend looking up the wiki for the vehicle you are attempting to use. Some vehicles require a mix of gas and oil for their two stroke engine. Some require strictly diesel or gas. The wiki can help you figure out what all you need.

If you're using a manual version hold ctrl then shift to 1st then turn it on, release handbrake then let off ctrl, if automatic you have to have it in park to turn it on
