A heater that clicks without igniting can point to a bad igniter or gas valve.
Soot around the exhaust
Black soot can be a sign of poor combustion or a blocked heat exchanger.
Water leaking from the base
Puddles under the unit can point to a cracked internal header.

Short cycling can point to low water flow from a dirty filter.
