Goodman furnace, 1 red flash ignition failure, wont light

Have about a 15 year old goodman furnace I get a 1 red flash, ignition failure..Have replaced the thermostat, electric ignitor, gas valve, wired limited switch over from heating chambe...When I turn it on, everything turns on and blows gas, but no spark...But will work if I light it with a newspaper...Runs perfect like that until room temp is reached, have already replaced thermostat 3 times already with no luck.

Welcome to the forums.

A one flash means the furnace is under lockout.
You'd need to turn power off and then back on. Now watch for the trouble code.

Spark ignition on a Goodman ?!?!?!

Going to need the model number for that furnace.
It's inside on an ID tag on the sidewall by the burner.

If you are saying it has a hot surface igniter that is not glowing..... but you can light the furnace..... that's going to be wiring to the igniter or a defective relay on the control board requiring board replacement.

First, please stop replacing parts. You'll have more money tied up in random parts then you would calling a tech to diagnose it.
Do you have and know how to use a meter? What model Goodman is this?
