    Forced hot air issue (Draft inducer fan)
    My draft inducer fan is running for about 3 minutes before the furnace ignites. Once it ignites,the furnace is operating correctly.

    This seems to be longer than normal.

    Any ideas on what's wrong, or what I need to check/test?

    Thanks!

    Check the rubber/plastic tube connecting the pressure switch for cracks.
