NoX is Nitrides of Oxygen. Excessive Nox is caused by low combustion temperatures. The catalyst is supposed to help reduce the Nox in the exhaust gases. Check the distributor cap/rotor, spark plugs, coil. If those are good/recently replaced, and the spark plugs are the correct heat range. Then you may have a problem with the cat.

Try also posting this on the main 924/931/944/651/968 board as there is much more traffic on that board.
