I had just replaced the expansion valve prior to the drier replacement. I would try replacing it again, but the pressure readings don't really point towards it. I have no confidence in any a/c shop. I already had it in there, and they quoted replacing the expansion valve at over $800. I can only imagine that a major diagnosis and repair would be ten times the value of the entire car.
The time before I tried to get my a/c fixed, it took four different shops, two unnecessary major component replacements, almost 2 years, and over $1500 to finally diagnose a leaky low pressure fill valve.
I'll spend a bit more time trying to find an ingress of hot air and seeing if the evaporator gets cold without the fan running, then I'll take out and inspect the evaporator and re-install with a second new expansion valve.
