IS the capillary tube on the exp valve attached to the suction line and wrapped with moisture resistant tape?
The system is using the 99' Mercury OT, the TXV was removed as the plumbing was deemed too difficult at the time of installation...

Personally, i would change back to a exp valve type system. Again your pressures look okay, maybe a little high on the low side for a CCOT system.

I did not even realize it could be a TEV guess my thoughts about changing the orifice can be thrown out the window. :)
I have a suburban and it uses a valve for the rear evaporator but a orifice for the front. Guess I need to stop relating auto air to residential and commercial, there is a difference. :)
