two things are possible: there is a flame sensing rod in front of the far left hand burner. take a piece of steel wool and GENTLY clean it off by sanding the rod up and down. this sensing rod tends to condensate after a lot of cycles and collects lime calcium ect. If this doesnt work, I guarantee that the inducer motor is either loose or worn out. try tightening the screws that hold the motor on the heat exchanger. take a look and see if the red rubber gasket is intact.
good luck I have worked on hundreds of Janitrol/Goodman furnaces and these are the two main causes of flame failure.
