There is usually a brass tube with a plastic pipe off it inside near the burner clean down the tube this is the venturi which operates the air pressure switch and sometime gets blocked.
Also try removing the fan and cleaning the fan blades. The boiler will not fire up untill the fan has operated the air pressure switch. Turn the main power switch off before starting.
