Replaced ignition cylinder, and neither the old key nor the new key starts the engine. Is it have something to do with the chip in the key? Is there a way to reprogram the key or the box it relates to?

Sounds like you have a bad or burned contact in the ignition switch.

If the car is turning over but won't stay running, it is not the ignition switch. You also said it is "trembling very badly" when it is turning over, this leads me to believe that it might just be moisture under the distributor cap or a bit of carbon build up on the rotor.
Try this: remove the distributor cap WITHOUT REMOVING ANY OF THE WIRES. There are 2 screws that hold it in place, loosen them and turn the cap over to look inside - if you see any moisture, wipe it out with a dry rag. Next inspect the rotor, that's the piece still on the engine under the cap, on the end of it is a metal contact. If it is at all blackened (carbon build up) either LIGHTLY scrape it with a flat blade screwdriver or LIGHTLY sand it until shiny with fine grit sandpaper. Put the cap back on, retighten the screws to secure it, and see if that gets it to start.
Testimonial: "I didn't try this method because when I tried it once more with pedal down, it started! But thank you very much for the input!"

Amazing!.. Belts don't 'ignite!' Never have and never will. Find yourself a good mechanic/technician and get them to look at it.

Hi, the problem may be with the safety switch on the clutch. Locate the switch--it will be touching the arm of the clutch when the clutch is fully depressed. Make sure the arm is properly aligned to the switch or adjust the switch as needed such that the arm closes the switch. If the adjustment is good, pull the connector off the switch and connect the terminals of the connector using a large paper clip. If this solves the problem, replace the switch. If not, please get back to me.
