| If the igniter is cycling on and back off, and you replaced the coils and still no flame, sounds like the gas is not on, the valve went bad or something is blocking the gas flow inside of the valve, I would make sure there is gas to the valve first...

Sometimes moisture will get into the Gas Valve during storage, especially if the plastic cap is not re-installed over the Gas Line Stub.
You could try tapping on the Gas Valve while it's trying to light (if you can get to it).

How to check the gas valve, if you can tell gas that flow to the valve is not blocking.
