Here is more detailed information of the situation.
The heater had two problems prior to the lack of ignition. First, it would not fire every time, more like one out of three. Also, the blower would not shut off when the fire did. It would keep spinning. And perhaps it would never relight. I can't recall.
Now the heater has no flame. I turn on the the heater and set the thermostat. After an appropriate amount of time (15 seconds ish?)the blower kicks in. Then a short time later, the igniter fires with several clicking/sparking noises. There is no ignition of flame. On occasion, I here a quick whoof of a flame, but only for half a second. Once recently it stayed on for thirty seconds or so. Otherwise nothing. And the blower keeps blowing.
I am thinking there is a problem with the relay switch, but not sure if there is more going on here. So again, thanks for you help.
