Seeif you have fouled your plugs, if they are fouled check your valve covers to see if they have a baffle in them where your pvc valve goes,if you dont have a baffle its sucking oil in to the motor an fouling your plugs.

Check for vacuum leaks or maybe a bad EGR. Your problem counds similar to what I experienced once. Mine was the EGR valve leaking around its base. My ultimate solution...I replaced the intake with an Edelbrock Performer and eliminated the EGR and it's associated plumbing. The car ran light years better afterwards.
