    I don't have an ohm meter but I do have ameter that reads volt. So I put the ground on the meter to ground and the other to the lead to the white wire that has a p under which I am keading that means power . That is the only one I got voltage on and yes it was 24 volts.

    Do these look familiar? Sounds like a faulty ignition module (pic 2).

    Yes that is my furnace. And I did a couple of test on the gas valve put a jumper from p to m and the burners ignited so I rulled out the gave valve and yes you were correct that is was the ignition control unit. I would like to thank you for the time you spent answering my question. It is nice to now there are people like you that are willing to help. Again thank you very much for your time.
