   * Air flow going through the vents is very low   * Air flow going through the vents is very low
   * Air temperature coming through the vents is only slightly warm   * Air temperature coming through the vents is only slightly warm
-  * While watching the flames, when the main blower starts, the flames are heavily pushed back away from the heat exchanger on two of the three flames, proving a Heat Exchanger failure.+  * Opened up the air conditioner chamber below the furnace. The air is only slightly warm here. The specs on the furnace panel indicate that the temperature rise should be 30 - 60 degrees. 
 +  * While watching the flames, when the main blower starts, the flames are heavily pushed back away from the heat exchanger on two of the three flames, proving a Heat Exchanger failure. (I got hints on how to determine Heat Exchanger failure by watching a couple of YouTube videos.)
  
 Did some disassembly and testing. The main blower motor seems to be running fine. It has 3 speeds and by adjusting the wiring, saw that the motor can run in all of the speeds. I configured it to run at the highest speed, but it still doesn't blow a lot of air through the vents. Did some disassembly and testing. The main blower motor seems to be running fine.

 3/29/2018: Planning to open the burner chamber and see if I can examine the heat exchanger. It has some "rusticles" showing from the blower compartment. I'm not sure if the burner is working well enough. I see 3 flames, but maybe it has 4 burners. Also the heat exchanger could be plugged. 3/29/2018: Planning to open the burner chamber and see if I can examine the heat exchanger. It has some "rusticles" showing from the blower compartment.

 +3/30/2018: There is obvious heat exchanger failure. When the main blower starts, two of the three flames are blown back away from the heat exchanger. Opening the heat exchanger area to see what needs to be replaced. There are several "blades" and I see rust but haven't yet opened up the area to see how many need to be replaced.

 +3/31/2018: The furnace didn't seem to have broken heat exchangers. They were very rusty, but didn't see cracks. I'm thinking that the problem is leak between the intakes of the heat exchangers and the large metal plate. It was very rusty at this joint, and there was a lot of water on exchangers 2 and 3. Planning to order some gasketing material:
