Sounds similar to the problem we have with ours. It uses a white ceramic ignitor with a coating of dark gray crystalline material on the ceramic.
Our furnace is under the house (no basement) & the ignitor is only 8 or 10 inches above the dirt floor. The dirt there sometimes gets wet during heavy rains. Apparently, the high humidity damages the ignitor.
Net result, ... The ignitor fails every two years or so. Just replace it. If you do it yourself it's pretty cheap.

I am not a technician but owned a home with the same unit without issues. My recollection is that it was a fairly complex system with a considerable amount of electronic circuitry. It would seem that the issue you are experiencing may be difficult to troubleshoot and perhaps worth having a repair person check it since they are likely to have encountered this issue on these units.
