It finally passed. Here's what I had to do:
a. New spark plugs
b. Inflated front tires to 36 pounds
c. Ran a can of BG44K through the car
d. Checked for vacuum leaks
After all that -- it failed again. Not much better NOx readings than before
Took it to the shop that works on the car. They said most failures they see were from NOx. Suggested a tank of premium and an oil change (due for it anyway). Also put in a can of "This stuff is guaranteed to pass the emissions test or double your money back". Then, they told me to take the car out and run it hard to really heat up the cat.
It worked. I passed easily.
