The car stalled on freeway, I pulled over it shut off and now won't start. I thought it needed gas so I added some but still won't start. Disconnected battery to reset, no luck on starting sounds like it wants to

Everything on that car isnt easy to check the timing belt tensior or belt could have failed. If you think there isnt any compression you will have to check for compression. The easiest cylinders to check is the ones closest to the radiator in a few mins you can have the intake tubes and coil pack off to access the spark plugs.
