All yiu need is a stick style tire gauge.
On the driver side of the fuel bowl you'll see the fuel pressure regulator it will have a schreader valve on it(looks like valve stem on a tire) check it the with engine running or if it's not starting have someone crank it over while you check.
Caution: put a rag over it as fuel may spray.
Need a min of 20psi to start
You want around 65psi running

If your batteries levels are good, they have a full charge, the connections are clean and tight, and the starter is in good shape, one to three seconds of spinning before starting doesn't seem like a problem.
You're in GA, so I don't think this is a weather-related issue, but it might be a bad idea to verify your glow plugs (GP) and glow plug relay (GPR) are in good condition.

I drove it today and twice I had to pop it off with ether because it just kept spinning over but no start and I didn't want to kill my batteries but once it started up it was fine
