Maybe the EGR ports are clogged? If you go to the common diy thread on top of the gen tech help forum, there is a link to cleaning egr ports. There should be a link to a good YouTube video on how to do this as well. It is not a bad DIY job.

isn't this a good indication you've ID'd the problem? Now, why isn't it staying fixed ...

So, I'd take out the plugs now that they're missfiring and see what they look like. photo them.
while they're all out Id do a compression test; Autozone or Oreilly's may loan you the tool. write down results.
