Ihave replaced 2 igniters and one control board in 10 years (two
furnaces).

Of course, you could have replaced it with a regular pilot light the
first time the igniter went, correct? I turn my regular pilot light
off in April and light it up again in October. Saves gas and is
reliable,


No I don't believe you can. The control sequence calls for ignitor light
for X seconds and then the gas valve opens. Without the juice through the
igniter the system fails at that point.
