Hey guys,
I replaced the solenoid but it didn't make much difference :(
What is my next option? What you all think?

This the correct pressure for 134A.
100°F (38°C) 50-55 psi / 345-379 kPa 315-325 psi / 2172-2241 kPa

I thought with the high side pressure being too low you might have an overcharged system. Could also be the compressor itself being it's used?

AC Compressor Pressure
High 250 Low 50

Problem with the Compressor
Overcharged system or condenser issue

Remedy
Recharge system and inspect condenser for blockage

Maybe a stuck thermal expansion valve ? Who knows.. Meanwhile, this is what I do. Depending how you adjust it, it should blow colder air but at some point the venting may diminish - just turn it off 2 min then restart, or adjust the sensor to receive colder air
