You need to describe more about the test you did with this gauge. Is this one gauge or a set of two gauges with a manifold like AC technicians use? If it was a two gauge set, did you open or close the valves on the manifold?

Did you get that pressure reading with the compressor running or not running?

What was the outside temperature?

The part of your comment where the gauge is holding pressure until you release it does not bother me - it probably has a check valve.
Thanks for the reply. Answers below:

-This is just a single gauge for the low side.

-The compressor seemed to be running. (AC was set to Max and the clutch seemed to be engaged)

-outside temp was 75

Also have to add with the Max Ac turned on all it was getting was warm air through the vents. Maybe I should drive the car around for a bit to get it blow cold air before doing a pressure test.
