The EGR can have this type of affect. Remove it and check for carbon build up both in the EGR and the intake. If it is plugged, clean it out. Also, have you checked for vacuum leaks, fuel pressure, and has the check engine light come on?

I am going to check the fuel pressure today. I have checked for vacum leaks. The check engine light will come on when I am going about 55 and it will act like it cuts out for awhile and then the check engine light comes and after a minute it will go off and run normal again
