Evap or A/C Refrig Pressure sensor?

Yes, I agree about the leak down test. Don't know if it would shown up at the time....I always seem to get a weird answer like "wasn't there when we filled the system" type thing. I wish I could take it to a good indie that specialized in A/C in So Cal but don't know of any....here in SD county... I will have to investigate.
