My house for the past 2wk is not warmed at all when I turn the heat on... SO... I checked it... I turned the heat on and waited... it came on... a light sparked and then went off... a light sparked again (minute later) and did the same... but its not staying on?? Is it supposed to?
Just siting her for a consecutive 5minutes now and nothing... it has not come on at all

Could be your pilot orifice is plugged up. You will need to disassemble to check this item.

It could be a dirty flame sensor. I suggest replacement but you can try and clean with sandpaper. Go to the front of this board to look for the sticky notes to locate these type part.

After this work is performed you will have to turn the main power to the furnace on and off to get it to reset.
