Why does my furnace ignitor keeps burning out?

Why does my TDM not have a pressure sensor?
Unlike the air intake side of the engine, there is no pressure sensor for the exhaust gasses to allow the ECU to recalculate the fuel mixture when changing the exhaust system. This therefore leads to a fuel mixture too lean and also to some problems like engine jerkiness, blue exhaust pipes, and sometimes exhaust valves failures.
