The above mentioned unit does not get hot. The blower comes on and you hear it clicking to try and ignite but it never a does then it shuts down. If I reset it and let it "click" I can then light it with a lighter and it hears up and all the burners are lit and gets the house to the temp on the thermostat. However, when the temp drops and it needs to go through the sequence again it doesn't light again.

I have just spent the whole day trying to fix my 30+ year old Carrier/Payne gas furnace with cycling on and off initially. I will be posting to get some help from some HVAC experts here.

Do you have the owner's manual? Take a look at the diagram to see what do you have. It is most likely the thermocouple or the flame sensor is dirty. Clean it with fine steel wool or fine sand paper. Good luck.
