This sounds like a theft issue as the PCM needs to get the authorized signal to start the engine.
We need to start with checking for codes as this normally tells us what the issue is with a code.

We do not have a manual on this vehicle so we can't look up specifics but with what this is doing and all you changed was the ignition then that makes us look towards the theft system.
Does the theft light stay on or flash when you are trying to start? Let us know this info and we can go from there. Thanks
