Default WHAT'S NEXT????

I have a 1995Chevy Silverado 1500, 5.7 Automatic. Didnt pass smog. "Service Engine Soon" light comes on/off. Took it in for a diagnostics. Was told to change the O2 sensor, said it was running slow. Also to change EGR valve, did that. Just drove it, AND THE LIGHT CAME ON AGAIN!!! I cant smog it! Please help with suggestions......

87 has a more complete burn than 93. It burns faster. 93 burns hotter and slower with the possibility of an incomplete burn and moretoxins to pass though the exhaust.
