Sorry didn't read it right but I would think a bad plug that's not firing under compresion . What color is the spark? Is it bright. Or weak?

Then I would check the intake valve to see if its opening enough I wouldn't think any thing would be blocking the intake manifold unless you dropped something down it

Check for vac. leaks with some carb cleaner and don't forget the EGR valve where i suspect i have a problem with mine running on 3 cyl's until warmed up then runs on all four.
