Dryer Repair

Gas dryer starts up with flame, heats dryer up, then, it never ignites again, glow plug cycles through regularly. Followed several posting advice, replaced thermal fuse, operating thermostat, and now tested coils. All seem ok, still no heat. Also tested the flame sensor and the reading on the multimeter is 0.4, I am assuming that is ok. Is there any 'electrical' piece that might control the timer for the ignitor? The reason I ask is that we recently had a 4800 volt power surge into our home as a primary electrical line outside fell on to the secondary and we had several things get "blown" from it. trying to rule out everything...

Apparently, the new coils did the trick, even though the old coils seemed to have the same multimeter results.
