bad/plugged EGR valve or manifold passage can cause that as well.

Re: I need reasons for this...

park car in like a dark garage and look to see if you see electricity/(arching) coming from your plugs or wires or coil -

im having similar problem now and brought car into garage to see that 2 plug wires have cracks and are arching against the block causing misfire. i have new wires just waiting for chance to put on
