    I blew through the tubing on the pressure switch to the motor it was clear the furnace was still acting up out of sheer luck I started shaking the tubing all about while it was connected to everything and now the furnace is working I'm guessing it won't for long any ideas would be helpful thanks for the post josh if any of what I said helps me fix this or anybodies ran into this before your help is appreciated

    Look closely at the pressure switch fitting where the hose connects. Do you see a small hole, about the same diameter as a paper clip? If so, try wrapping a piece of tape around the fitting to block the hole. If this works, either the switch diaphragm canister or the inducer housing may have a leak. This is just a quick fix until the real problem can be corrected. I would not recommend bypassing the switch, even on a short-term basis.
