    Thie tiny wires that go to the ignition lock cylinder may have broken. It has to be replaced and have a new chip key cut to fit the new lock cylinder. . If the ecm has the number 1228253 on it you should replace it as they have a cutting off problem but they will start right back up. The lock cylinder problem will only make the car not turn over and then you will get a pass key message. It will not make the car cut off after it is running.

How much does it cost to replace an ignition key for a 1991 Ninety-Eight Oldsmobile Regency?

It depends on your area. You can replace the ignition switch portion yourself. However the key lock has a chip on it that tells your cars computer it is ok to start. The dealer will have to re-program your cars computer to tell it that that key lock cylinder is ok to start the car.
