A little out of season

Okay, we are in the middle of the AC season down here, but I was going through some pictures and found this one.
I was doing a preseason check-out last fall. I just fired up the gas on the furnace and was checking the gas pressure. I noticed some sparks following the gas into the tubes on the furnace. I looked closer and saw they were coming off the HSI! I finished up the check-out and pulled the HSI. It was cracked. I've always heard you can never tell if a ignitor is going bad, as it's either good or bad. I think this was a right time at the right place circumstance.
The picture is kinda fuzzy. I left it large so you may see the crack. That's why I didn't click the box for it to be at the bottom of the post.
