turn the key to the "ON" position and wait 10-15minutes and then start the car up after that and it should be gone.

Yes, Also, every once in a while you may be forced to do this because it will decide not to start.

I think the issue is going to lie either in your key or ignition cylinder.
Buy a Key from E-bay, and have it programmed and cut at a dealer.
If that doesn't work... then you're looking at replacing the cylinder.

There is no chip in the key. Theres a solenoid in the ignition switch that senses if you are using the correct key or not, which if your key is worn out than its not working right and you can't make a good copy from a worn out key.
