That's usually your flame sensor. If the board doesn't detect a flame after burner is running it will shut your gas valve down. You can usually fix this by cleaning the flame sensor with some extra fine steel wool.

When call for heat on model # WGPH-10eamer serial number DF5D302f419801914 the furance goes throught the cycles, the burner comes on and cuts off after 8 seconds. The flame censor was changed and the...

It could be the control board, But before I would replace the board I would check to see if the flame sensor is not touching the burner and shorting it out. Also check the flue make sure it is open. This has a combustion blower on it and a proving pressure switch. Some time the pressure drops when the burners come on will trip the switch and start the process all over again and acts just like a flame sensor fault if the flue has some blockage. Also make sure you have a good ground back to the board. A little rust on the burner right at the flame sensor can block the micro signal back to the board. I am sorry I can't remmember the light codes. There should be sticker on the panel with the wiring diagram that show the codes. Good Luck I hope this helps....

I have and oldsmobile 2000 intrigue. i changed the computer and now it wont crank when the key is turned and also the security light is flashing constantly how do i reconcile the new computer to the car?

There is a simple procedure for this.
First of all (and VERY IMPORTANT) is to connect the vehicle to a battery charger. Leave the battery charger on during this entire process.
This procedure takes approximately 30 minutes . Make sure the battery is fully charged before proceeding.
  1. Turn the ignition switch off.
  2. Turn the ignition switch all the way from the off to the start position, then leave it in the on position.
NOTE: The engine will not crank.

  1. The SECURITY will come on and stay on for at least 10 minutes . When it goes out, proceed to step 4.
  2. Turn the ignition switch off for five seconds .
  3. Repeat steps 2, 3, and 4 again for a second time.
  4. Repeat steps 2, 3, and 4 again for a third time.
  5. Turn the ignition switch off.
  6. Turn the ignition switch all the way to the start position. The engine should now start.

Starts and stops repeatedly

I need more info!
Have you checked the diagnostic indicator?
Some possibilities are....
If the buner lights than rapidly goes out....You have a dirty flame sensor..... Remove the sensor with a 1/4" nutdriver. This sensor is located under the burners. It has "ONE" wire hooked to it. unplug the wire. pull ou the screw. Carefully remove the sensor. Clean it with a small piece of sandpaper. reintall. This should give you heat.

Pressure switch.....If the burner does not light. It can be a variety of problems. Check your flue pipe for obstructions.

I have a problem with my heating system. It is about 10 years old and has had the ignitor, combustion blower motor, and programable thermostat replace in it's lifetime. The system worked great last year....

sounds like its not proofing flame. it has a sensor usually like a needle sticks out into the flame that tells the gas valve the flame lit and is burning so its ok to keep sending gas, if its fails to proof flame then burner shuts down, then it tries to relight 3 times then locks out on fail safe. the blower will sometimes run continually once that occurs to highlight a failed condition. every time you reset it will try again 3 times then shut down. lp gas is very dangerous, even i do not work on it as the gas acts like gasoline and lays around. not like natural gas that disperses well. if you see the flame sensor try gently cleaning it with a little emory cloth. also a loose ground can cause this. check tio be sure any green wires are snug , they actually flow volts to ground through the flame on some to proof, thats why no ground no flame. if that fails then the board is most likely problem. change wire for wire , or get generic replacemant and follow directions exactly. good luck.some ignitors act as a flamre proofer as soon as they are done igniting! rarely do they fail to perform both funtions.
