a smog tech. is alot different from a reg tech.
and a full report will tell alot
all of the 4 gas affect each other

by the way did u even watch while the guy smog ur car?
did they even check ur ignition timing?
did they smog ur car in second gear even if ur at 3k rpm?

like i said ur smog sheet will tell alot.

I was having a hard time passing DEQ (Department of Environmental Quality) here in Oregon because I was failing on Hydocrabons. To beat Hydrocorbons I would lean out the mixture via a Ajd Fuel preesure regulator. If I went to far I would pass hydro carbons but would fial NOx. NOX can be caused by hot cylinder temps, i.e. running too lean or advancing ignitiion timting to far.

Make sure you are running a proper mixture and try retarding your timing a bit.
