It has just now started to act sluggish in cold weather again and takes several seconds to completely shut off. When I removed my cylinder I soaked in a mild degreaser and flushed many times with some brake cleaner. It's amazing what came out. I then soaked in a lubricant for a few hours and cleaned my keys thoroughly. It was 100% improved and has lasted for the better part of two years.
I tried this but no help. The key moved freely in the cylinder and the inside of the cylinder also moved easily. I cleaned it anyway and lubricate well.
