1991 Nissan 240SX 4 cyl Two Wheel Drive Manual 167K miles

well, I let my friend change my oil this weekend, and check my distibutor cap. He said all he did was cleanned the distributor, and changed my oil. Now my car wont start. It turns over but wont start all the way. At one point he had it running but when I took it to drive, it was very very laggy with the gas. The rpms would drop alot before going up when ever I pushed the gas. Any way I can fix this? Money is kinda tight right now and its my only car to get to work and back.

Sounds like it might be as simple as incorrect timing.
I am not sure what "cleaning the distributor" is, but if it was removed it needs to be re-timed.
You'll need a timing light to do it correctly.

You might be able to adjust the distributor a little at a time to get it running if you don't have a light currently.
