Yeah I probably could have looked a little more and saved some money but the pictures on the site is what did it for me. I'd hate to order the part again and it not fit so I would much rather spend the little extra money to know that the part I need is the correct one.

I normally hate having to drive places but now that I have that exhaust in I find myself wanting to go more places while turning off the radio to get there.

So my part came in today and BAM!
It fits!
Ha too bad it came late otherwise I would have evacuated and recharge the system. Lets just hope their is nothing wrong with it tomorrow when I do it.
I'm hoping I didn't get any ish in the hoses while they were off...

Just a quick update,
I ended up evacuating and recharging the system today. When I had it hooked up to the pressure guages it started doing the same thing...
I thought I was screwed and all of a sudden my electric fan turned on to make the ac run perfectly. The pressure went down on both the high and low side and cold air started blowing out of the vents with the compressor running.
I figured that because I have an electric fan it needed to be running in order to help cool off the system while the ac was working. From there I spliced a wire and plugged it into my ac relay to where it would turn on my fan each time the ac was turned on and sure enough it worked perfectly. Now I have ICE cold air coming out without any compressor or expansion valve issues. )))))
Before when the fan was on it would cycle on and off due to a clogged expansion valve but now it all works perfectly.
PROBLEM SOLVED!
Thank you to all who gave me input on the issue I was having!
