+1 on rusnak's "connect the brown wire" suggestion.

Elevated exhaust temp isn't where NO comes from. It is from high combustion chamber pressure coupled with high combustion chamber temps. The temperature in the combustion chamber is higher then the exhaust because the pressure is much, much higher.
The brown "CA / Japan" wire retards the timing 4° to reduce combustion pressures which is to specifically reduce NO emissions.
