Any help would be appreciated it's H O T here.

Make sure you get the orifice tube out. It is in the evaporator where the liquid line goes in. Replace that too. If you can flush the system peice by peice, than do so.

when I put filter I meant orrifice tube but my brain wasnt functioning and I couldnt remember the name for the part. Is it better to use the liquid flush or the pressurized flush. How would you flush each part?
