    Gas heater not lighting up
    I have a comfortmaker RPJ II and the blower will turn on when I turn the thermostat on, but the gas is not igniting. Could it be the electronic ignitor or something else that I need to check?

    Does it use a hot surface ignitor? Is it 80 or 90 percent efficient? How old is it? Does it have an induycer fan motor? Does it start?
