    Intermittent spark ignition spark but will not light pilot on natural gas furnace
    Johnson ultra air 97 natural gas furnace , 18 years old
    Starting sequence
    1) exhaust blower and main blower come on
    2) 2 seconds later intermittent spark igniter starts sparking , but will not ignite pilot
    Will shut down after maybe 20 seconds , do not smell any gas

    Things I've tried... removed pilot tubing and blew out with air
    Bypassed vacuum switch
    Checked all wires
    Lit lighter under pilot while sparking , no gas or would have lit
    Made small adjustments on pilot adjustment screw
    Tapped on gas valve

    Something is out of sink. The main blower is not suppose to come on and start blowing until the heat comes on and gets to a certain temp. with a meter on start up check to see if there is power going to the gas valve, sounds like valve isn`t opening up allowing the release of gas
