she really hasnt drove it in 4 months, and when she took it down she really didnt blow the car out on the freeway. See anything in the #'s that could cause the reason for fail?

NOx is likely that the EGR isn't opening, I'd check it out and what controls it.
if the EGR checks out, then it could be the cats need replacing.

i doubt it.... i think the car needs to be blown out on the freeway and warmed up properly. They hardly ever drive the car and when they do it's mostly in town.
