So tomorrow, hook up both gages but don't start the car and see if the high and low are the same. Black death is kind of a universal term to refer to several variations of crud developing within the refrigerant system:https://kevinscarrepair.com/auto-rep...uto-ac-system/

Silly question first -- are your sure your can tap tapped the can? I assume the tap is still on the can, and if so does it vent energetically if you crack the valve without hooking it up to the gage set? Reason I ask is that I have one can tap that only partly taps. Which also means I have a can of R134 I can't really ever use...
Not trying to pretend to be an A/C expert here -- I am not one! -- but from what I've seen and read it should be interesting to see the static. You should have static pressures on the order of ambient temperature, i.e. if it's 80 degrees you should have something like 80 psi static on both high and low gages -- a lot of good information here:
