Question Sentra Cap and Rotor HELP!

So, I have this 1993 Sentra XE 5-speed that I've had for just about forever. Recently, it started eating fuel at double rate and acceleration slowed to a bare minimum. I replaced my plugs and plug wires first, but that didn't help, AT ALL. After consulting with my closest male friends and having the car looked at by a "weekend warrior", he told me that he could replace my cap and rotor reset the timing. Well, I bought the parts and 6 weeks later he has yet to fix it for me.

Is this something that a total novice could do on a Saturday afternoon or should I wait for him to make time for my car? I am so sick of my car not running well but I don't have to money to take it in to a shop to have them do it.

HHHHHEEEEEEEEEELLLLLLLLLPPPPPPPP

Please leave specific instructions on how to do it. Thanks.

Sincerely,
Typical Girl Driver ;-)

i dont think that cap and rotor have anything to do with hy your car is guzzling gas like that. u sure that one of your injectors isnt staying open?? does it smell like gas inside the car?? are u sure u dont have a gas leak??

could be an 02 sensor also
