1) You have a cylinder that is not fireing and youi should be able to tell that by loss of power or by removing the plugs shortly after you run the engine (keep in mind that gas evaporates quickly and it may be necessary to run motor several times while checking the plugs because of evaporation)
2) You have an intake manifold gasket leak , that can be determined by vaccume guage
It depends on the amount of gas you are getting and how long it takes to show up
