HE gas furnace replaced bad inducer but no ignition

furnace

I have an approx 20-year old Tempstar (model # NUGK125DK08, manufactured by 'Inter-City Products') 90% eff gas-fired furnace. Yesterday morning we noticed it was blowing only cold air. I opened it up and noticed a faint burning smell and poked around and noticed the inducer motor was hot and was not running when the furnace was switched on. I got the part today and replaced the inducer unit, which is running fine now when the furnace is switched on, but there is no ignition. What to check next?

Edit: @Mazura was right – it was the pressure switch. Note- in my previous comments, I mistakenly thought the heat switch mounted right on the inducer assembly housing was a pressure switch.

Pressure switch on the inducer has to be satisfied before it will light the ignitor. If it can never verify that the inducer is blowing, it might run it forever and burn it out.
