Unhappy Car won't pass smog!

Failed smog test. I had 3 things that were way above average. Nox, Co2, and something else i forgot what its called. Replaced fried Egr. Now it failed 5 things. Mechanic said its probably my Cat. Everyday it throws a code 32. It the problem my O2 sensor? My car runs like crap lately too. It starts up funny, its a gas hog now, and it just doesn'y feel right . Any advise would be greatly appreciated.

My plugs havent been changed in a while. I never changed the o2 sensor or the Pvc. I just replaced the Cat about 3 years ago. If it was bad wouldn't i notice horsepower loss? Oil change yep i think im due.Thanks for the info.
