Angry 1996 Chevy Monte Carlo Starting Problem

I have a problem with starting my car. I have a brand new battery battery cable and starter. I have the key with the chip in it. I have tested this problem and after being told by the dealer that if the car does not start on the first try, it has a five minute security delay. I used my key and had numerous times that the car would not start. I also used my wife's key, which is not as worn as mine. The dealer says that they have replaced very few key cyladers on the column. With using both keys and the one key being practically new, I believe that leads to the cylander not reading the key code correctly. However, I am concerned that possibly it may be a worn linkage from the key switch to the switch on the column and I am wondering if failure for it to start from that would enact the five minute delay. So my belief is, that it is the key cylander not properly reading the key due the reading devices being to far apart from seven years of wear. If anyone has come across this problem and solved it, please let me know what your solution was. If it was acutally the key cylander or something else. Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks
