Have you tried losing the gas line to the furnace to see if you have gas to the furnace?Modern propane furnaces have a pressure switch to shut down the system if the incoming pressure is to low, Check with a manometer and compare to what is called for on the name tag in the furnace. Make sure thermostat is calling for heat or pilot will not lite. Good luck, Mike

The pilot orifice for LP is very small it will not take much to block off the gas 100%. The pilot orifice may be dirty.
