After the glow plug turns on (nice and bright) but no fire. Will repeat one or two times then nothing until door is opened or its let cool down. Cleaned off what i believe is photo cell or eye to see glow. This did not help and want not realy dirty. lens and cell appeared to be in good shape. Kevin

The coils get hot and quit. Later on they start working again. Replace them. SublimeMasterJW attached the following image(s):
