Goodman not lighting up in the morning especially when really cold...

I have a Goodman GMH950904CX furnace that occasionally does not light, especially on cold mornings. Single blinking LED error code. Have replaced pressure switch several times. I even rerouted the vent pipe since it was installed without sloping straight sections, and even runs down hill through the wall collecting water. But had same issue again this cold morning. Not sure where to go from here. Purges fine until glow plug is bright. Then gas valve does not open. Tapping pressure switch helps many times. But I tried changing the pressure switch, and the valve opened and closed repeatedly, like pulsing every second. Put old pressure switch back in and it lit fine. I did notice a slight pulse just once or twice before staying lit. Any ideas will be appreciated. Thx.

It happened again this morning. 2F outside and at 9am I noticed furnace is not running. 1 LED blinking. Powered down and up. Now it works fine.
Thanks for your reply! I have blown through the drain pipes after this last failure to ignite and no problems since.. if it happens again I will check with the manometer. Thanks again!

I found the model number GMH950904CXAD on the Goodman furnace. The pressure switch number is 20197310 and is rated -0.6 In the photo you can see how the switch is mounted. And you can see the numbers 1 through 5 on the bracket above. I am wondering if changing the mounting of the switch would make any difference, even subtle.
