Furnace runs for 8 minutes at a time.
This is driving me nuts. For the past few months, my furnace has adopted this annoying feature in that it only runs for eight minutes at a time. To make it run more, you have to turn the thermostat ...

Sounds like the thermostat tolerance is too wide. Might be something like +/- 2 degrees default. What thermostat did you install? The tolerance may be adjustable.
Ex. In heating set to 70 degrees. Furnace comes on when temp drops below 68 then shuts off at 72. Will not come on again until temp drops below 68 again. When you lower the temperature setting manually you are resetting the thermostat and that's why it starts again.
That's what I'm thinking too.
