Not sure if this is an issue where you are. Find a mechanic with a 4-gas exhaust analyzer. This will make it much easier to run your diagnosis.
NOx means one of two things. Either your catalytic converter is busted, or your combustion process is too hot (due to lean mixture or something else).
I struggled with the same thing. Had a 1988 Volvo 245 that failed because of NOx. Did a long of stuff to it. Still failed. Finally broke down and bought an $85 aftermarket cat. That did it.
One thing I noticed. You used non-NGK spark plugs. SAABs hate non-NGK plugs. This would not cause your NOx levels. But you should still install the recommended copper NGKs (about $2 each).
Gallon of methanol? Isn't methanol corrosive?!
You say you installed a new air mass sensor. What was the reason for doing this?
Is the emissions test performed under load or at idle?
