How could she clean it but not re-oil it? Is it paper? This really sounds related to mixture control, and since you were working with the filter, id check the MAF first (spray it out with MAF cleaner or Brakleen). Limp mode cannot compensate for a bad MAF signal because it cannot substitute any value for a dynamic throttle dependent airflow reading.
