Immediately after it will not start on fourth try, connect to the two wires together or jumper them on the furnace.
I believe the thermostat bi-metal and attenuator(anticipator) is heating up and failing.
This will NOT affect the control operation of the Sail switch and Circuit board. The Heat anticipator actually heats up and causes the spring main tstat coil to open the furnace contacs in ANTICIPATION of the necessary heat that will be exhausted to prevent the Furnace from overshooting its set temp setting. Has nothing to do when the tstat calls for heat. Doug
