Also keep in mind most gauges have a typical accuracy of +/- 1-3% of full scale. For a 100 PSI gauge with 1% accuracy it can be off 2 psi (+1 or -1)



Now, if it is consistently around 10 psi at idle, then it may be time to look into gaskets.
If you're running a 100 PSI gauge on your Z, replace it immediately. 370Zs need a 150 PSI gauge.
