Chevrolet/Theft System starting problem

Question
What remote key switch?  I'm not sure exactly what you're talking about.  I don't have a remote starter or keyless entry.  It seems to be the same problem as other people have asked but I don't know what to do besides let it sit for ten minutes and try again.

Hello, my 1996 Chevy Cavalier rarely starts when I want it to.  After three attempts the theft system light comes on and I can't start it for ten minutes. Even then many times it won't start and I'll have to wait another ten minutes.  This problem is making me skip classes I don't want to miss and making me dangerously late for work.  I don't have much money to fix it so I was wondering what exactly the problem is so I don't have to have a computer scan and other unneccesary expenses.
