OK,
We now have COLD air! Found the compressor WAS bad and also the rear air Expansion valve. I replaced both parts and a new orfice tube, blew out the lines, then used the vacuum pump as recommended. Everything is working properly and blowing 58 degrees in our Myrtle Beach humid 90 degrees. Total cost was around $200 (and this is including wasting 2 charges worth of
oil/refrigerant trying to diagnose the problem). A repair shop would've gotten me for about $600 or more!
You came through once again.
Thanks for all the help guys!
