actually I got somewhat lucky here .... I could tell that these gauges were defective just by looking at them. Like right out of the box the gauge would already read 2 psi. I am sure that if I would have hooked it up it would have given very strange readings( obviously ). That is not to say though that a guage that may have started out correctly will not go haywire and give you strange readings...as I am positive that some autometer gauges do break after a period of time. But yeah I would definitely try someone else's gauge first. If it is your gauge, autometer will be more than willing to fix it or send you a new one provided you have the correct paperwork.
