You may have mounted the new igniter too far from the gas ports, or your regulator is defective and causing a weak gas flow. Also, make sure the voltage to the igniter is 115 volts. If everything checks out ok, I would call a pro. to look at it. You might lite the gas with a match and check for gas purity by observing the flame.

Thank you richappy, I installed the igniter backwards, now it's fine. Thanks
