    Assuming you have a surface ignitor or spark ignition, many times this is due to the flame sensor. Clean it with fine sandpaper or steel wool. Another possibility is the roll out safety. Make sure all vent pipes are clear. Finally, make sure the hose from the plenum to the pressure switch is tight and all ports are open.
