What ended up being the issue? Still can't get mine to work.

You can do this in the game using the Rage plugin hook command console. Press F4 twice to open the RPH command console. Go to vehicle options/actions, I believe its on the second page, there should be an option that says "leave engine running" just enable it and you're good to go.

There has to be. I'm having the same issue as well and several other posts are experiencing the same thing. No matter what you do, LSPDFR continues to crash. Everything is updated correctly and my mods are all up to speed. But, like you said, even on a clean copy of GTA V without mods and additional plugins, LSPDFR still manages to crash on it's own. This is the first and only time I haven't been able to get the game to work. I've tried everything I know, and the only conclusion I can draw at this point is the new version of LSPDFR has to be riddled with bugs. Even the ones who manage to get the game working right are having problems. I hope these issues get resolved quick so we can all get back to playing.
