Ignition start up became an issue when I had 3 or 4 keys made for the vehicle. Sometimes it starts right right way or times it may take 4-5 minutes to get it going. Is it the keys or do I have more serious issues.

Thanks.

If you have a factory alarm system and the OEM key has a chip in it, the keys need to be programed so the computer recognizes them. Otherwise, it thinks the vehicle is being stolen.
