Default A/c blows cool but not cold.

Hello every one I have a 1995 honda accord ex. I have replaced the ac compresser, dryer, condenser, evap under that dash with a new expansion valve. The compressed kicks on after I put freeon in the system. I put 23oz as for what it calls for. I dont understand what I have missed. If anyone can help that would be great. NOTE.. At night time the ac works great but when it's hot like it been here 98. It just lightly blows cool.

Maybe you have a leak. Get a set of gauges and
check the low and high pressure sides.

That's funny that you say that because last night I drained everything just to check to see if I had a leak and I do not have a leak I had it holding for over an hour and a half and it did not leak at all

Read post #4, look at the pressure chart. It's for a 98-02 Accord.

I think you need the pressures and temps to troubleshoot.
The new parts you installed may not be working correctly.

did you install a OEM or after market expansion valve? correct amount of oil in the compressor and condenser? clutch slipping? belt slipping? did you have UV dye in the system? put an AC thermometer in the center vent and measure temp with fan on low, vent set to recirculation. Do you get near 40F at night or any ambient condition?
