I have a 2000 Firebird with about 100,000 miles. Last week my air conditioning was just fine until I switched it off for awhile.
When I tried it an hour later, it sounded the same but it blows warm air. I think it's the same as the outdoor temperature, the only difference is it seems to feel like humid air.
Does that sound like the symtoms of something specific or do I need a troubleshooting lesson?

I would check for proper pressure (should be able to rent/buy a pressure gage) in the air conditioning system. You may need to have it recharged if it has not been done before.

Suggested Repair

Check air conditioning system pressure with a gauge, which can be rented or purchased. If pressure is low and the system has not been recharged before, have it recharged.

The expert advised checking system pressure and recharging it if that has not been done before.
