QUESTION: we replaced the circuit board on the furnace  it is a mallard pull type it is 87   the smell is like a car exhaust

Answer
Hi Dee, I have answered a ton of furnace questions. Read back on how to troubleshoot the Limit and sail switch. What has me puzzled is that you say there is a smell of exhaust but the furnace blows cold? X file! You may be smelling LP.(propane) and this can happen when the tank is empty. The other possibility is a bad electrode. The wire to it, or the electrode itself is bad. If LP is full and you can hear the ignitor trying to light the flame. Then the electrode is most likely bad. Good Luck
