Default Sometimes it will crank sometimes it wont

My KIA will start at times and at times it wont.I cant find a pattern at all.
Sometimes it will start with the first turn of the key and other times I have to tun it over let it set a few seconds and try again.It did at one time give a trouble code of PO560 system voltage malfunction but has not returned in a while.When it does start it runs great.Does anyone have a similar problem?

Thahks for your help!

If I understand correctly, the engine always cranks/turns over, but fails to fire.

There's a vast number of possiblities, such as bad connection on the fuel pump, a bad fuel pump relay, or bad spark plugs or coils.
The fact that it's intermittent will make it very difficult to track down - you'll need to work at trying to eliminate each possiblity to home in on the problem.

Considering you got the system voltage code, I suggest you check all the main connections and grounding straps.
