If you mean the heat or AC cycle, it has to do this to cool down the furnace/coils. It is a safety cycle and do not try to defeat this purpose.

    It will blow forever until I shut off the furnace, push a reset button on the vent safety switch, and then turn the furnace back on. It does't do this all the time, just here and there.

    I see now. Thanks for the added info. Sounds like contacts can be an issue here and I do not recommend trying to fix this yourself. I think maybe a good reputable repairman should do it. I could if I was there but you have listed quite a few issues. I'm sorry I could not help you here.

When it blows cold air, there should be an error code blinking on the LED light located on the PC board. Look through a small viewing port in the front panel, then remove the front panel and on the reverse side there should be a diagnostic code chart to help you figure what is wrong.

My furnace heats the house well, but during the cool down it actually blows cold air dropping the temperature causing the furnace to re-ignite. How do I adjust? Goodman - GMS9/GCS9
Depending on the age of the furnace you may be able to adjust the cool down. On some furnaces there is a silver box usually made by honeywell. This is your fan limit control. If you take the cover off you will see a dial with different temperature settings with 3 pins in a grove. The first one is fan on with temperature rise this turns the blower on when the furnace starts and warms up. The second is the fan off after furnace shuts down, this would be the one you want to adjust to a higher temperature to keep the blower from blowing cold air. The last pin is the high limit if the furnace gets to this temperature it will shut the furnace off but keep the blower running. Make sure that the thermostat fan option is set to auto and not on.

Why does the heating element in my gas furnace keep shutting off before it reaches the desired temp? The fan keeps blowing but the air is cold. I have to turn the thermostat to off, wait a few minutes and...
The furnace has many safety controls monitoring many parameters. The most like cause of your complaint may be low air flow. The most simple reason would be dirty or too restrictive of an air filter. If the filter is clean that is about as far as you can go without a general knowledge of how that whole system works together.

Gas furnace is constantly blowing cold air
An indoor blower running when it is not supposed to usually indicates an overheat condition. I would guess that it has been cycling on and off for some time and finally caused the high limit to stick and not auto reset. if you tap it sometimes they reset. the real problem is that it has been overheating from lack of airflow, over sized unit, not enough return air, too many closed registers, dirty filter, dirty squirrel cage blower and or air conditioner a-coil. If you get it started again sit and watch the unit run the flames should come on and stay on for the entire heating cycle, not going on and off.
I wish I could help you more but it is difficult without seeing the problem myself. Good luck! this should get you started!

There is a fan cycle switch that turns on the fan when the unit heats up (so it won't be blowing cold air) and runs the fan after the unit has shut off to remove heat from the unit. Sounds like it bit the dust. It is located next to the firebox.

Electric furnace blows cold air before and after warm air.
It is normal. Your house has to go down a couple more degrees because the heat pump is not working. You can solve this by rewirng you thermostat. Take off the wire that goes to Y and tape off. Then take the wires that are marked w and e or w1 and put the wires to yellow. Do not run ac with it wired like this. If you need more information please post me back
