I have a Model Ruud 90 plus. The ignitor comes on and it lights the burner but the burner only stays on for 3 seconds then it shuts off. Is there a flame sensor that is bad or what is going on here?

Thanks for the info on the flame sensor. I did that and it still did not work. It ended up being moisture in the connector for the flame sensor. cleaned it and dried it-nothing. I cut the wire out of both sides of the connector and wire nutted them together and that worked.
