Well, that depends on exactly how it's fluctuating. If it drops when the compressor clutch is disengaged and builds back up when the compressor clutch engages, that's normal operation.
On a manifold gauge set, there are two gauges. The gauge encased in red measures pressure on the high pressure (discharge) side. That's the "high side gauge". The other will be incased in blue, and measures vacuum pressure on the low side.
Red is the high side.. The low side is blue..
the color is red
The oil pressure gauge may be fluctuating on a 2006 GMC Sierra if the oil pump is failing or the sensor is defective. This can be the first indicator of a potentially catastrophic failure.
The low side gauge more than likely says retard because you hooked the low side up on the high side port
If the high side gauge for your R22 central AC unit fluctuates, it may indicate issues such as improper refrigerant charge, a malfunctioning compressor, or restrictions in the system. Fluctuations can also result from fluctuating ambient temperatures or rapid cycling of the compressor. It's essential to diagnose the underlying cause, as continued operation under these conditions can lead to system damage. Consulting a qualified HVAC technician is recommended for accurate assessment and repair.
On a 1996 Ford Crown Victoria : The H / L ( High / Low ) gauge : On the drivers side of the speedometer is the battery voltage gauge On the passenger side of the speedometer is the engine oil pressure gauge

An automobile temperature gauge can fluctuate when the thermostat is opening and closing erratically. The temperature gauge can also fluctuate when the ground wire is loose.
When checking a/c system operations. There are two gauges that measure high side and low side pressures.
Using a gauge and the proper type of freon, connect to the low side ac gauge. With the ac on high and the engine running fill the system to the full mark on the gauge.
