    York Diamond 90 furnace will not start
    I have a York Diamond 90 updraft furnace in the basement and it stopped working this morning.
    I tried to troubleshoot the problem:
    1. The DRAFT INDUCER MOTOR starts running but the furnace will not come on.
    2. I see 3 flashes of the led on the control board which means that the pressure switch is open.
    3. I saw that the pressure switch has two tubes connected, one to the DRAFT INDUCER MOTOR and one to the burner box, I checked both tubes connections, the one connected to the DRAFT INDUCER MOTOR is blocked by default (the motor side has the connection but when inserting a screw driver there I felt it's blocked) I looked at the other size connected to the burner box and cleaned it.
    4. I briefly pulled the tube from the burned box and pushed air inside and the pressure switch closed.
    5. The DRAFT INDUCER MOTOR is running as I can see.
    6. I have two pipes from the furnace going outside, one connected to the DRAFT INDUCER MOTOR and the other to the burner box, from what I can understand the DRAFT INDUCER MOTOR pulls air from the outside through the burner box and relief the pressure from the from the other pipe ( am I correct), I cleaned both with vacuum cleaner, I felt strong suction from each side when connected the vacuum to the other pipe.

    Where do I go from here?
    Can it be that the DRAFT INDUCER MOTOR is bad and not sucking enough air from the outside?

    The DRAFT INDUCER MOTOR is A165 Fasco
