The typical things that would cause problems would be the EGR Oxygen sensor and the catalytic converter.

If you have an EGR, check for clogged egr ports on the valve or a leak (NOx). Make sure your ignition is completely up to snuff--good wires, plugs, cap, & rotor (HC.)

But really if you can't figure it out, the best first money you can spend is to take it in for a smog diagnosis--the guys at the smog check station may be able to suggest a shop. It will be a lot cheaper than just randomly replacing parts.

I had a Fiero with emissions problems, it was a worn out catalytic converter. Replaced the cat and it promptly passed.
