I am getting a code 34 on my Payne PG8DAA furnace. code means "Ignitor proving failure". Do I need to clean my flame sensor? Is this the round sensors (actually 2) next the flames? They don't look dirty maybe a little. I cannot get them clean with my fingers though, how dirty does this thing need to be to quit working??

The flame sensor is a 1/8" rod with a single wire going to it.
