Well, I'm sitting here in my kitchen with the oven on and open... furnace quit about 9:30 or so. Home warranty people recommended some guy that can't come out tonight. None of the "24 hour service" HVAC people in the phone book apparently really do offer 24 hour service... so for lack of anything better to do, anyone want to walk me through trying to figure out what I need?
Furnace is a Ruud 90+ gas fired forced air unit. When I turn up the thermostat, the blower kicks on, I hear the gas valve click open and then the main blower kicks on, but the burner never ignites. It'll run for a couple minutes, blowing cold air, and then shut itself off. I'm guessing it's either the gas valve or the ignitor, but how to tell which one?

(kinda scared to go to bed with the oven going, I realize that this is not a recommended method of heating one's house.)
