Cranks ,but won't turn over;sometimes

Kia Rio 2009 kia rio lx/4cylinder 650000 miles
When starting the car,it would crank,but not turn over(50% of the time),and when it does start,it drives fine,but this past week, the battery light and oil light came on,and the car was at the stop light,and wouldn't move,while everythingelse was functioning(radio,ac,etc),so I put it in park ,and turned the key,it cranked right up. Later I took it to autozone,and they looked at the engine,tugged on a hose,checked the exhaust fan,then sat behind the wheel,and cranked it right up,no problem,but found nothing wrong,but didn't do a diagnostic. Yesterday I drove around with no problem,but briefly the engine light came on,but went out,and still no issue. Later that evening,when I parked the car for a good ten minutes,and came back out to drive it,it
Would crank,but not turn over,so after a few attempts, I left it alone. An hour later,it cranked up just fine. What's going on with my car? It has a new timing belt/water pump,new AAA battery,so what is the issue
