"Crank" and "turn over" are the same thing. I'm guessing it does but the engine doesn't start or run. With not knowing the engine size, the most common suspects would be the camshaft position sensor, then the crankshaft position sensor. They often fail by becoming heat-sensitive, then they work again when they cool down. The place to start is by reading the diagnostic fault codes to see if there's one related to one of those sensors.
