No, O2 sensors are to clean up the emissions. If you have a gas smell, I would suspect fuel lines, or a gas cap.

Are oxygen sensors interchangeable?
Some are and some aren't. There are different variations of oxygen sensors. First you have narrow band and wide band O2 sensors, then you have heated and unheated O2 sensors. Unheated sensors can have 1 or 2 wires , while heated sensors can have up to 5. Also some sensors are specifically calibrated to the unit they are intended for, so unless you really know what you are doing, then no they are not interchangeable.
You have a 91 Chevy lumina as it has on the manifold something that look like a spark plug but it is not as what is this and what does it do when the car is running or driving it?
I believe you are seeing your Oxygen or 'O2' sensor. It measures the ratio of oxygen in the exhaust and sends the info to your car's computer while you are driving. If the O2 sensor is bad your car can run poorly. It is one of the more important sensors on you car.

There are 3 oxygen sensors; one in the front exhaust manifold, one in the rear exhaust manifold, one AFTER the catalytic converter.

Probably not the oxygen sensor. I'd check the wheel speed sensors first. Possibly even a wheel bearing.

A common cause of this is a faulty or incorrect oxygen sensor. A lot of the cheap aftermarket sensors will do this, especially the cheap Bosch ones they sell at many parts stores. Denso is the OEM brand.
