AC Compressor or Expansion Valve bad?
My mechanic says my 1999 GS3 with 115K miles is not building pressure correctly; stated is only around 100 lbs. when it should be around 300 lbs.
How can I tell if the expansion valve is faulty or if the compressor is bad/tired?
I've done several searches here, but most results are on older cars that are not 2GS.
Thanks in advance.
(Also, who/where is the best place to investigate for parts?)

Well, I bought an expansion valve direct from SparkPlugs.com for $36 bucks, and I found a used compressor from a wrecked GS3 with 70K miles and a 101 day warranty. The EV will be getting installed first, and we'll see what happens.
