How can I determine if mine is faulty?

If your engine cooling system pressure tester adapter is faulty, it can cause the system to malfunction and fail to accurately measure the pressure of the cooling system. If the system is not functioning properly, you may notice a decrease in performance or overheating of the engine. You can test the adapter by attaching it to the engine's pressure testing port and checking the pressure gauge. If the gauge is not reading accurately, then the adapter is likely faulty.
