My furnace fan has trouble starting when the system calls for it to run. If I start the fan spinning by hand, it picks up and runs find. What could be the problem with it starting to spin on it's own?

If it uses a capacitor to start, replace the capacitor. If it does not use a capcaitor (most likely) the start windings are shot, replace motor.
