SOURCE: 40gal richmond powervent wont light. code says fvd
sounds like the circuit board is bad,, when you turn on the unit does the fan come on first if not you need a circuit board, depending on the age it might be cheaper to change the whole unit

check the wires and make sure they are not touching any metal, or the gas valve, this is actually something I just had happen to a brand new power vent just last week the wires were touching the gas valve and shorint it out i seperated them put electric tape on each one it fired up and stayed on,,

Hi,
It could be that you need a new regulator if the pressure was low - and now is high - but it's over-compensating - virtually shutting off the supply.
Check all valves are fully open - and any water traps are empty. It is possible for there to be a condensate in there - that is occasionally blocking the nozzle - causing a flameout.
If there is any yellow flame at all or signs of soot- get the unit serviced.

You have red wires connected to bottom of gas control valve?
Is this a power vent model?
What model, what brand water heater?
Is new thermocouple is finger-tight plus 1/4 turn and not shorted against gas control valve?

Copy following link for safety magnet:
Magnet will click closed when pilot is turned off. Put butane lighter on end of thermocouple and listen for clicking sound.

Bad gas control valve:
Low gas pressure, air in gas line, inadequate air supply, clean the air intake, tripped FVIR system, etc.
