how do I fix this. My security light has been coming and my car will not start some times. I have to wait 5 minutes and it will start.

I have that problem occasionaly also. Light comes on and you cant do anything to the car...

Although i got the trick down...Keep turning the key really fast and sometimes it will turn over(well at least on my car)

This sounds similar toa problem I had in my 97 Camaro. I eventually had t have my key tumbler replaced. Apparently on mine the wire connection, or something like that had deteriorated over the years and since it was not making the proper connection it was causing my factory security system to lock up the car and keep it from starting.
