A/C Not cooling
Have good low side pressure and no HVAC codes. Compressor engages fine.
Edit: The pressure was actually quite a bit high, so I let some out. However, the A/C was cold last summer, I haven't added anything to cause the pressure to increase since. Both sides warm, so the actuator(s) seem to be out of scope.

As I remember it takes just about 2 cans of R134 from evacuated to full. I pulled out the expansion valve which is located in the place where the lines are running on the passanger fender. A single bolt connects both halves and it was a BITCH to get the old valve out. Finally used some AC oil and a pair of needle nose vise grips and pulled and prayed. Before that was getting poor cooling and charged it twice including buying some condenser cleaner which I sprayed on the condensor fins to no avail. Replacing the $3 plastic part in the line, adding about 2 ozs of regrigerent oil, evacuating and recharging did the trick for me. BIGHANK
