Was your car cold during the first test and well warmed up during the second?
High NOx emmissions come from high engine opperating temps.
High HC emmissions come from a cold or worn out Catalyst that can not convert unburned fuel molecules (Hydrocarbons) by combining them with all available Oxygen molecules.
I think.
