Default Furnace not igniting (Comfortmaker RPJ II - electronic igniter)

depends on the ignition module

I use propane and every year I have to bleed my gas line to the furnace
until I smell gas, close it off then try to restart and bingo!!!!!!!!!
heat. the electronic ignition will not try forever to light the furnace and
the pilot draws such a little bit of gas that its quicker to bleed the line
then keep retrying. Is your ignitor working????????

I have a Comfortmaker RPJ II gas furnace with an electronic igniter (no
standing pilot light). The furnace and the fan come on when signaled by
the thermostat but the furnace does not light. No flames come out of
the burners. I've tested this with two different thermostats thinking
our old thermostat was not turning on the furnace. But you can hear it
come on. Any ideas what else would keep the burners from lighting/ not
igniting? or what the problem may be? There is no smell of gas. Any
help would be appreciated. Thanks.

when was the last time you had it checked and serviced??
