I called the heat repair guys this morning. They showed up just after 9:00 AM, and did the same things I had done, and determined the ignition module kicks on the gas, the and ignites the flame but it goes out in 3 seconds. Which is why I called them. The did clean the spark detector, and several connections, and test voltages. They called Lennox tech support and got put on hold. The went on to the next call and they are waiting on Lennox Tech support to call back with an answer.
I am real glad they are not throwing parts at it, and trying to diagonals the issue. He said one upgrade kit replaces the igniter, spark detector, and burners. Then he added, we know that all works but just for three seconds at a time.
The good news is it it 71 outside and the high will be about 80 today so heat will not be critical in the house.
Hopefully it is some easy and cheap component that is bad. In the 20+ years we have lived here we have never had a service guy touch the furnace. I replace the filter every 45 days. And I vacuum it out and keep it clean. The flame is nice and clean blue.
