The engine is firing and I smell gas but it will not even backfire, rotor button is turning so the timing belt is still attached.
Your CRANKSHAFT SENSOR or CAMSHAFT SENSOR went bad and now you have no REFERENCE ZERO for it to start,,,,, No Signal to start the Electrical Spark Process... Replace your Sensor, your car will start..
The autoparts store told me that year did not have a CRANKSHAFT SENSOR or a CAMSHAFT SENSOR?
Could they consider that the Oxygen 02 sensor?
The Store is Wrong... They may call it a Hull Pick up Coil, They call these parts differnet things but they do the job. O2 Sensor is NOT going make your car run like this,
Where is this part located on the vehicle, and I also want to thank you for your help.
I have been searching for information on your specific vehicle. It appears to be part of the Distributor from what I can find... If I find anything more, I will post it.
I pulled my timing belt cover off today and my timing belt is off three notches, can that be the reason for it not to start?
Yes, it can cause it to not start

VSS or vehicle speed sensor aka cam sensor or crank position sensor. Test the battery and alternator. You should also check for blown fuses, bad wires and grounds on a car as old as yours. If you find it's getting spark and fuel after further testing, check the timing belt. It could have slipped or broke even if it was changed recently so either pull off the cover or at least do a compression test.
