1994 Infiniti J30

i have a 94 j30 that I am trying to get through emissions here in az. I failed the gas cap test and replaced it now my nox is failing. I have replaced the egr valve, the gas cap and still failed with a higher reading on the nitrogen. Could the cataletic conv. Be a problem? Please dont tell me I have to replace the knock sensor! Any help will greatly apperciated. Thanks

Could be the catalytic converter or a computer controllerd system thats locked-up in the open loop mode-

Did you clean up the EGR passages thoroughly and EGR valve functioning as designed?

Yes I did check and clean the tubes as best I could. This was a real bitch. It would have been eaiser to pull the motor out to get to the egr valve. The car belongs to my step-son so money is tight. What would you recommend be the next step without to much money. I do have a code scanner but there has been no warning lights or check engine. Should I check for any codes that might be stored but not ilumanating? The egr is new
