My furnace won't consistently light the main burners. The pilot will light and then just go off about 3/4 of the time. I have cleaned that sensor and it still just won't always recognize the pilot is lit and release the main gas valve.
And once in a while it will fire up, run for 5 minutes and then shut down even though I can hear that it knows it should be running.
Guess it's time to call someone in.
I assume you have done the equivalent of the "reboot the computer" advice and that's to try with a new filter or even without one to check. I found out last year that with all of the sensors and **** they have that my dirty filter was fooling some pressure sensor thingie. Everything sounded good, exhaust fan kicked in and was running etc but would not allow ignition.
My oldest, when he was one year old, had a cow custome and when you pushed his tummy it made a moo sound.
Grabbed lunch today. Got one of those 20 oz cups of fountain iced tea. Didn’t drink any and forgot it in my good pickup. Jumped in it about 8pm and took a drink. Ice hadn’t melted one bit. It’s TOO EFFING COLD, to allow that.
Forgot to mention that I had a weird dream two nights ago. I was at my oldest sisters house and for some reason went into this house right next door to it. In there, this guy Says he knows me and calls me BC. He then introduces himself and when I said I didn’t know him, he informs me he is Pants. My sister did live in his hometown so I wonder if that was the deal. I have no idea what Pant’s real name is or what he looks like so it was interesting to see what why imagination drummed up. No idea why I had that dream, just happy I didn’t have any dikpiks on my phone the next morning.

Check your fresh air intake.
Is he confusing basketball with football? That sure looked like a tackle...
Yesterday had a couple non ordinary events. Started the dryer up and heard a strange sound after a second. Looked over and then heard a thud. A rat had fell from the sky about 5-6 feet from me still alive. I hate rats.
In the afternoon I decided to change spots in the field I was picking. Was driving along the end rows from north to south and saw something catch my eye about 1/8 of a mile south of me. A car that was similar color to my moms and daughters (but knew it wasn’t) headed north. Then something move in the neighbors field next to the fence. Saw a deer fly in front and try to jump over their car. Clipped the front driver quarter panel and shoot straight up in the air. Made some major air. Deer did a backflip on the way down and landed on its side and flopped in the ditch. Drove to check if it was still there since the car kept going. Couldn’t find it so i went back to work.

Doing some quick reading as I am not a HVAC person.
Mine is an 80 AFUE type furnace. That wouldn't have a direct fresh air intake would it?
Wouldn't it just have an opening in it to allow air in for combustion, thus making it only 80% efficient?
I would have to go back home and look at it. Have an appointment with a pro for tomorrow morning. So as long as I can get it to run one more time to heat the place up I'll be good.
I got it running this morning before I left, I just have no idea whether it will keep running or shut down after 5 minutes. I had the house up to 71 last night and then turned the thermostat down to 68. It turned on one time last night and worked. Then it didn't later on so the house was 65 this morning. I might run back home at lunch and check it out being that I left lunch in the fridge.
No hvac guy either, on the furnace in my folks rental the intake runs as the outer pipe for the exhaust going thru the roof. Only reason I suggested it was a darn starling got thru the baffles built a nest went down the pipe and then finished getting stuck in the fan cage of the air intake. That was fun to dig out.
Not unless your costume was a tunic sweater and jeans. I should have gone as something Christmasy though.
