A direction I can go in without Throwing parts at it anyet information that can help me help her is greatly appreciated

Code 55 is insignificant, it just means 'end of message'.
Use an OEM O2 sensor if you are replacing it. I have had problems with Bosch and 'Universal' O2 sensors.
Also use the correct Champion Copper Plus spark plugs listed on the underhood label for the vehicle. If this is a 2.5L, check the cap and rotor for wear.
Change the oil and filter as needed if the dipstick smells like gas.
