Volvo 960 Failed Smog Check, why? 1992

Hi,

My Volvo 960 failed the California smog test, and I was wondering if anyone out there in Volvoland can help me to figure out why. Not too mechanically savvy... the smog check vehicle inspection report said that the HC (PPM) at 15 mph MAX is 110 and mine MEASured at 143, and at 25 mph the MAX is 85 and mine MEASured at 130. Don't quite know what that means, can anyone tell me? What do I do from here? Appreciate anyone letting us know, it's the girlfriend's car and it has 201,000 miles on it and we'd like to keep it if it's not going to cost too much to get fixed and re-smogged. Thanks for the help.
