I wouldn't expect an inspector to find a problem with your furnace with the situation you described. An intermitent problem is just that, hit or miss. I should have thought of your as I just had my tech at my house to clean my oil fired FHW furnace. He looked at the spark coming off my igniter and showed me how it was very marginal. My igter itself was fine but this showed that my transformer was getting near its end. I could keep using it till it totally died but it was going to happen sooner or later and probably when I was gone for the weekend right? I had him change it out. I should have thought of this as being a possible issue for you. Sounds like you found the problem.
