Replaced main board, no difference.
Replaced pressure switch, no difference
Replaced Inducer circuit board, no difference
Replace draft inducer motor last year, worked fine (old one was noisy)
Initially, service people replaced igniter coil, worked for 1/2 day.
When he was here, he "wiggled" harness connector at Inducer board, started, we cleaned contacts, thinking it was it.
I 'wedged' a thin wood shim behind connector, worked for a week.
Bottom line is, is my gas valve bad, limit switch, pilot assy?
Before they come back and charge jizillions per hour to do what I did, I'd like to narrow it down to keep costs down.

We could use a little more info. Does the unit just click and nothing else? Does the draft inducer motor start up? Does the blower work? Does the unit spark and attempt to light the burners?
