Failed SMOG high HC and NO on low speed

Need some people with emissions expertise to chime in please.

CA emissions failed:

Speed RPM %CO2 %O2 HC(ppm) CO% NO(ppm)
15mph 1608 15.2 0.3 121(fail .29 736(fail)
25mph 2236 15.4 0.1 32(at limit) 0.06 219

max HC = 57 at 15mph and 32 at 25mph
max NO = 478 at 15mph and 484 at 25mph

E320 wagon 1994 M104 with 180k (passed 2 years ago well within spec).

I had a vacuum line connected wrong off the throttle body (the one that goes to the valve that gets fumes off the charcoal canister).

I am wondering if there is anything else I should check before going in for a retest? Not certain on exact oil consumption, but have some.

I can't get current registration till I pass smog, and I have a sticking key in ignition issue...need the current registration so I can order a matched key lock cylinder, and don't want to start/stop the car a lot so the key doesn't get stuck and need to take apart dash...etc.

Any help MUCH appreciated! :-)
