Car refuses to start - sometimes??

[BLACKCAT]

Have a 7MGTE in a auto Cressida.
Occasionally the engine refuses to kick over.
Alternater is charging good & the starter motor is fine.

The only way to start it is to manually move the fan belt a few inches.
Is it the CPS & what is causing it?

Is it cranking/turning over and just not starting? or does the starter motor refuse to run?

If it's cranking then yes check your cps wiring. If not... check your grounds coming from the starter.
