If the low side has too much pressure and the system isn't cooling properly that would be one sign that the orifice is plugged up. Removing the orifice tube and inspecting it would be the best way. If the orifice tube is loaded with metal trash, the compressor is probably on its way out. Replace the compressor, accumulator and orifice now before the compressor fills the system with trash, this you don't want to happen.

Where is the orifice tube located in a 94 Nissan Quest?
It is located inside of a line that routes off of the condenser and splits between the front and rear A/C sections. The line with the orifice tube heads to the firewall on the passenger side of the vehicle. You'll see a crimped area on the line, where the orifice tube is located. I don't believe you can easily replace the orifice tube without cutting/repairing the line or replacing the whole line assembly. The line has several bends negating pulling the orifice tube out. Pretty inconvenient. The rear A/C uses an expansion valve.
