If you hear a click and gas starts to flow, but nothing ignites, then it
shuts down...then the igniter is bad.


After wiggling and tapping everything I could on all the connections and
circuit boards, I was able to get the full sequence of clicking, pilot lighting,
burners lighting, and fan blowing.

But, the furnace seems to shut down too quickly; like after a minute or two.
Then I can't get it restarted again.

I will test again in the morning.
