NOx is usually hot running or ignition. I would go straight to the spark plugs, don't pass Go. I can easily see plugs going bad after two years - how many miles? What kind of gas?
I'd just drop a new set of properly gapped NGK's in, unless the plugs looked absolutely positively perfect. Heck, I'd do the new plugs anyway.
Next, lean running can lead to NOx. The biggest culprit there would be vacuum leaks after the AMM. Inspect all hoses for cracks or just plain falling off. Check the hose to the charcoal canister (remove the right front turn signal light and look in). If your air filter is old, replace it. This one probably won't make much of a difference, but it's a nice touch.
