Pioneer Bay blows out, clean exhaust, new door gasket, is the igniter failing?

2008 Travis Pioneer Bay pellet insert, used as auxiliary during cold spells.
Started this season fine, but started blowing out and faulting.
I suppose it could be the exhaust blower, but the exhaust all cleaned out, no obstruction at the cap.
It's always run very ash, never creosote.
It goes through normal startup now, but fails to light.
The ignitor shows 75 Ohm. Not sure what else or how to test.
Thanks.
 
Have you tried to light it manually? If everything else works, I would think that's your problem.

I agree with what Eric said about the igniter.

I want some clarification on what you mean by "blowing out and faulting" though. It was running and then you lost flame and it faulted out?
