I called him 3 hours later, the car had passed, and the bill was $170 plus tax ($80 for diagnosis, $55 for combustion flush, $35 for emission test)
Here are the passed test results:
ASM 2525
HC PPM limit:50, reading:37, result:pass
CO% limit .28 reading:.14 result:pass
NO ppm Limit:548, reading:46, result:pass
RPM 1395 result:valid
Dilution: 15.0, result valid
Curb idle
HC PPM limit:200, reading:38, result:pass
CO% limit 1.00 reading:.08 result:pass
NO ppm Limit:N/A, reading:N/A, result:N/A,
RPM 661 result:valid
Dilution: 15.0, result valid
Very sweet! I am good to go for another 2 years.
If anybody in the Toronto area wants the shop name/address, private message me.

am sure your specialist manipulated your emission settings for your car to pass the test - he did not fix the problem. it takes more than 200 bucks to fix emission related problems.
