I turn it on high heat, ignitor glows, lights gas, gas burns but then just shuts off after a minute and doesn't come back on, I can let it sit for a bit and try it again and it will do the same thing. I've tested the fuse, thermostats(hi limit and cycle), ignitor and flame sensor for continuity and they all tested fine. I tried testing the gas coils and they seem to be testing in the range that I've looked up online too? I'm confused as to what might be causing it to shut down like that?

Just seems that after the initial heat up than it goes cold and does not heat up again. Would the gas valve coils, even though tested within specs be a cause of the thermostats, thermal fuse, ignitor and flame sensor all tested closed for continuity?
