Off topic but would like some advice

I have a1995 Lexus es300 as a beater for work ac blows cold then hot. So I changed the expansion valve and got indy shop to recharge it properly.
but the ac lines freeze up under the hood and it starts not to blow as cold again

Was I supposed to lube the expansion valve prior to install or should I have to change the dryer as well. Something is deff clogged for the ac lines going in to freeze up

I believe thats a condenser issue? not totally sure but my GF's sisters TSX has the same issue and I have noticed by C230 is doing the same thing. Course it could be in my head since I just replaced the compressor in my E55.

other's thoughts?

You should probably try the ClubLexus forums... a lot of members there and you could get better assistance:
