Norcold 6162 LP goes out Jim 7-7-09  
When running on LP flame lights & ignition still sparking. After 8 seconds gas solenoid turns off LP & ignition. "Checks LP" light ON. I turn to "OFF" then back to gas several time same result. I blew compressed air up tube flume goes into stayed light after for 10 minutes then I turned off. Later back to original symptom. If I tap lightly on aluminum pipe exhaust is in will stay lite them go out once stop tapping then reignite if still tapping. Eventually it seems once something warms up will stay lite. After things cool down back to same lite & sparking for 8 seconds the off. I have 16+ volts between J3 & J4. Checked other connections all good. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance

I adjusted the igniter/sensor tip. It is very sensitive. The tip must be adjusted to the hottest part of the flame. A very slight adjustment, not too close or too far from the burner. The tip should turn red hot during the first few seconds.
