My a/c quit working so we reaced the expansion valve and it is still not working. It acts like it is stopped up.

By no means does that alone indicate a restricted system. First of all the refrigerant charge has to be precise to the exact specified weight and once that is done, the system can be analyzed through pressures and observations. You are going to do a lot of damage to the system proceeding the way you are.
