after hotwiring a car, i cannot start the car
i have successfully hotwired a car, but i cannot start the engine, even with 100% conditioned engine, battery, and etc, except for the exterior. Do i need 100% overall conditioned car to get it started?
please help, this is really annoying me since I cannot find any car keys, yet hotwiring does not work.

I just realized! i posted something before hand, gas tank CONDITION verse ACTUAL GAS in the tank are DIFFERENT. The car most likely doesnt have gas. Gotta get a gas can, run to a gas station, fill it up, equip it as a primary, right click the car, put the damn gas in the car. The OUT OF GAS indicator is REAL hard to notice if you dont know to look for it. I FINALLY got a car started, ive been playing musical cars for 30 minutes dodging zombies. -_-

If it's not gas related, your battery can still be in 100% condition and the car won't start because the battery has a bad charge ratting; if it's too low the car will never start. so always check both numbers on a battery.

The amount of gas, engine condition, engine quality, battery charge.
Pay attention to these.

This thread was quite old before the recent post, so we're locking it to prevent confusion.
