55 is an end of code message. Kind of like "Stop" on old telegraph messages.

I'd suggest testing your stator (aka camshaft position sensor):

The sensor is a pretty cheap and easy item to replace.

Could be a bad distributor, but I would also check all your grounds. Also check the power wires going to the fuse panel on the fender.

dealing with the same problem,same codes, checking the stator/cam sensor/distributor coil pickup, inside the distributor, the write up at the link is a little confusing.
I put a voltmeter on my stator today it's getting 5v constant, but the signal wire voltage was weak ,the needle barely moved on the voltmeter when turning the engine by hand.
