The blower kicks in for a couple of minutes then shuts down, probably because it will not ignite. Any idea what the cause could be?

FYI that is a Tempstar furnace. I need to know more. Draft inducer runs, or blower motor. Do burners ever light? If I'm not mistaken that furnace uses an intermittant pilot, does the pilot light?

I am pretty sure that it is an intermittent pilot. It will ignite if I power it off after a cycle and let it sit for about a minute before powering it up. It will last for about 2 minutes. I just had someone look at it who replaced the pilot, it didn't change anything.

Do the burners ever ignite? Did you try to clean the flame sensor/ignitor probe?

I called the serviceman back in and powered it off for about 5 minutes. This time it stayed ignited. They cleaned out the pipe with a float in it and thought that may be the problem. We'll see. But its' been on for about 30 minutes now. Thanks for your help.
