Re: 1990 LT5 emissions fail
NOx is very sensitive to ign timing, combustion temps (EGR help this), coolant temp, and fuel mixture. The air/fuel ratio at which NOx is minimized is a very narrow range and the oem calibration strives to keep it there during light loads and cruise conditions.
On mine, I found that changing out both of my 22 yr old O2 sensors did the trick and lowered the NOx significantly- like nearly half as much output.
