Oh.... just noticed you're in Cali.... you'll have 2 oxygen sensors, 2 cats, 2 EGR VSVs and an EGR temp sensor to inspect on top of the AFM and EGR valve. First and foremost make sure the plumbing from the valve to the intake is clean then check for error codes in the ECU.

Check: Dashpot, EGR,

Check air flow meter, EGR gas temp sensor, oxygen sensor and sub-oxygen sensor:

Yes, you can remove most of the EGR components with the engine still in th car; The cooler plate is a MAJOR pain though and unless it's leaking it probably doesn't need to be removed. Just test it as shown above and clean out the plumbing for it. It's not the cause of high HC; It's the cause for most high NOx numbers (which you also failed on).

This covers all the likely suspects.

Is there much oil coming through your PCV system into the intake?

No, I'm not way off.... it's SUPPOSED to have all of that if it was sold in the California market. It has nothing to do with CANN, OBD, OBDII, etc.

A new cat probably wouldn't hurt, I'm surprised you haven't been referred to a ref yet... but I don't remember how it all works there... just that's it's worse than here.

Test for faults in the current hardware before you start just blindly throwing money at it. If the rotor and points show significant deterioration you should replace them anyway if not though then forget it.

I pointed you where to find the diagnostic info you need to use, it's up to you to do so... I'm out.

They're designed for different markets, and the emission components on that vehicle reflect their intended market. IIRC, California requires all vehicles licensed in the state to conform to CA emissions. So your federal emissions Supra has to pass within the same levels of CA emissions Supras.

I read somewhere on the CA DMV website that they don't suggest importing a federal emission vehicle into the state because the cost of converting it would not be worth it. I believe that statement holds more truth to newer vehicles though.
