I use propane and every year I have to bleed my gas line to the furnace
until I smell gas, close it off then try to restart and bingo!!!!!!!!! heat.
the electronic ignition will not try forever to light the furnace and the
pilot draws such a little bit of gas that its quicker to bleed the line then
keep retrying. Is your ignitor working????????

Gas filter clogged.

Gas injector needs resetting.

Gas controller needs calibration.
