Oven igniter glows but fails to open gas valve. Amp draw on wire to igniter jumps around 3.4 to 3.7 amps on my amp gauge. After measuring this amp draw I thought the valve was faulty, replace valve with Sears replacement and still acts the same will not open valve!!! So do I need to replace the igniter? Looks like next logical move to me. Will the igniter listed on this site AP 2934763 work? Lot cheaper then Sears replacement igniter. Thanks

There is an air flow adjustment on the burner bar.

Removed valve and screwed the orifice down. bingo working great. Thanks for all your help, I really am a novice at this.
