    Larry1 your boiler is not pressure sensitive.once there is a small amount of pressure in it,it will fire. Probably a different fault like circuit board/ fan/gas valve. Get a service guy out.

    opened up front and checked fuses..all ok
    had power going in but no return
    i adjusted the stat
    it kicked in after that
    but i intend to get it looked at properly
    a good friend works for himself, has all the courses done for gas bolier work
    will report back when he has a look at it
    thanks for all the advice guys
