The key I have is a replacement to the original key, so the dealer who sold me the car said it is probably a security chip issue. I attempt to start the car and it fires up and immediately cuts off. I try again, and it doesn't fire up. I lock all the doors, and unlock them, and it fires up and stops right away. After about 10 minutes of doing this, the car finally starts and stays on. Any suggestions?
Nah... Robert Hofland,
The security key either works or it does not...
If the "DEALER" actually has a MECHANIC around...
That would a NICE (albeit unlikely).
YOUR Dealer ...
(In my opinion: needs a little integrity and / or a brain)...
Your can get "FREE" reads to get the
Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs) pulled out
of your On Board Diagnostic System...
Don't buy anything... ESPECIALLY not Oxygen sensors...
just get the codes READ-OUT...
Come back here... We have some pretty good experience...!!
>> If it only does this when it is cold...
>> or when it has been standing...
Point to completely different troubles... but both in your
FUEL SUPPLY.
Getting those codes is PARAMOUNT.
Exhaust shops, parts stores... even some mechanics...
If it is something simple... You might be wise just to get
it fixed... or diagnosed & fix it yourself...
Pretty sure you are BETTER OFF not letting the
"dealer" continue at VERY BEST... being incredibly INCOMPETENT... dishonest... (creep... etc.
(in my opinion)).
Try it... Big savings... You will be proud.

Sounds like it could be some water in your Carb, i would recommend cleaning it out, Also it could a blocked air filter
SOURCE: 1997 ES 300 How to reset anti-theft system when car won't start
With the doors shut, insert the key into the drivers door lock. Lock and unlock the door 5 times. This should reset the system. If that doesn't work you should contact a qualified repair shop.

check the fule pressure with a guage, it should shoot up with the key on and hold, the turn the engine over the pressure should hold, if not suspect the fuel pump injectors or pressure valve
SOURCE: Same Problem-My 2006 GX470 won't start -Key won't turn.
Had the same issue with my wife's 2005 Lexus GX470. The issue is that the shifter is not in park (even though it seems it is). The other issue is that without the key turned, you can not move the shifter to neutral. If you look closely at the gear shift, on the left above the P (Park Symbol) there is a small rectangular box that has a **** on one side. 
Take a small screwdriver and lift the plastic cover which will reveal a button. With your foot on the brake, push the button with one hand and now you will be able to move the shifter to neutral with the other hand. Now, put it back in park and you should now be able to turn your key and start your car. Put the little piece of plastic you removed over the button and go on your way.
