    Flame sensor
    I have a York Diamond 80 upflow furnace. I think my flame sensor is bad. I checked my wire to the sensor with my meter ( I just completed classes in HVAC) and got 90 on the volts. Just wanted to make sure I am replacing the right part. The flame kicks on and goes out about 5-10 seconds later.

    Try cleaning the sensor with steel wool before replacing.
