Charmglow CGN250TE-C gas heater emulates too much
There is a fine balance between running rich (emitting soot) and running lean which produce carbon dioxide (CO).
The two items that can be lacking are air and circulation from the internal fan.
1)soot and dust can be collected on the internal fan blade.
This will reduce the ability to draw in air and offset the factory preset air mixture requirement.
Let the unit cool down and disconnect the power.
Clean the internal fan and let it dry
=======
2) make sure there is no blockage to prevent air flow.
Crack a near by window open 1/4" and see does it make any different.

My heater is not working,
Is your combustion air motor running? If the motor is running you may have restriction in the stack. Sometimes high winds will cause it to not make. Unplug furnace and plug back in. This resets the board. Turn on furnace and see if it fires up. Rus Get back to me and let me know.

Colman mobile home gas furnace to use in my garage/shop
generally speaking a sealed combustion system is inherently more safe than a system that draws it's combustion air from it's ambient location. however, it cannot be considered 100% safe in a potentially hazardous location. The actual system that would be used in a "code compliant" installation would be a 100% outside air unit.
That being said, you can install this in a garage, the vent that you are referring to (if it is a standard mobile home system) is generally directly above the unit and usually no longer than about five feet. It also requires a listed and labeled termination "cap" If you install 90 degree angles or extend the vent too far you will have issues with condensation in the piping that will cause the pipe/ heat exchanger to fail prematurely.
If the system is a 90+ efficeint unit then the PVC venting is generally allowed to be about 30 feet long, with a 1/4 inch per foot pitch back to the unit for condensation, also the general mfg. instructions allow either 2- 90 degree or 4 45 degree fittings in the line. hope this helps

Burners are only lighting half way and then gas
OK, the burners will need to have flame on the entire surface or it will trigger a sensor and shut-off. Get a brush and maybe even one of thoes can of air and blow off the burner. Stay away from the glow ignitor because that is very delicate. Once you get flame on all surface of the burners, the unit should stay lit.

My heater will not light
In order for the furnace to light, a few things must happen. The thermostat must have a call for heat thus making a connection (closing a switch) sending a signal to a computer circuit board. The board will in turn blink a light indicating a call for heat is registered. It will then send power to a fan motor that will remove old air from the burner area and introduce fresh air to the burner. Once the blower comes up to speed, the pressure closes a a pressure switch. Once the switch closes, it sends power to an igniter, either a glow type or spark type. It also sends power to one side of the gas valve to open up the pilot gas valve and send gas to the pilot assembly. Once the computer senses there is heat at the pilot valve, it will open up the second gas valve and send gas to the main burner. The trick is to know where it is going wrong. First you must watch this sequence to follow the workings. To do this you may have to remove some panels on the furnace and hold a door switch closed temporarily to trick the furnace to run. Follow the sequence above to find where it ain't happening and look at what must be done to fix it. It could be as simple as a bad thermostat (no call for heat) or a plugged exhaust vent not allowing the pressure switch to close. Let us know how you make out with the diagnosis!

Hi I have a Coleman furnace that has the
If you mean hot surface ignition and not spark then look in front of the far burner from the glow plug and clean the rod in front of the burner with a piece of steel wool, the rod is probably dirty and can not sense the flame, so the gas shuts off.
