In other vehicles i have owned these symptoms you've explained have been indication that the AC needs to be charged aka low on r134.
The cheapest 1st step to finding out is getting a can at autozone that has a gauge on it so you can recharge it and tell for certain. If that doesn't fix the problem, you could have a failing AC Compressor. Simply buying the r134 and recharging it will be a good bet in finding out if it simply needed charged or if its something else. I mean, if you charge it and it fixes it, you are out nothing. If you charge it and the problem persist, you are out 20bucs and know its something more serious- and maybe something more serious you don't care to have repaired

I bought some r134a at autozone and I know it is supposed to fit on the Low side valve, but I can't get it fit on that valve. The "fitting" that is on the bottle of r134 seems to be too big for the Low valve. Anyone have any suggestions on what I need to do? Thanks.

none, where is this expansion valve?
On on the evaporator. You have to take the glove box off to get too it.
No, he knew exactly how to fix it, but I just want to do it myself if I can.
