Don't throw any more parts at it without troubleshooting to identify the cause. If you have a multimeter (and know how to use it) and an electrical schematic for your system, trace out the wiring - start at the thermostat and work toward the gas valve, and find out where the 24-V is being lost. If this isn't something you can do, then call a pro whose references you've checked.
Good luck.

Welcome to the forums.,
There is no thermocouple on a intermittent ignition furnace.
Your problem is probably going to be the combination spark/flame sense rod.
There was a link in your post. Was that supposed to be to pictures ?

Yes did use multimeter traced out the wiring and the problem
from the transformer followed the wires to the damper to see if the damper is opening and it is checked and I bypassed the block vent switch and the burners came on so it’s definitely the block vent switch tomorrow a licensed plumber is coming to change it and no worries boiler is off we have all over the home fire/carbon monoxide alarms and pilot is off thanks for your help
