I have confirmed that the ignitor is fine. It drew 3.2 amps and dropped to 2.8 amps and kept glowing. I even changed it out to be sure. The flame lit on the burner, but what i noticed is the blue flames were only 1/4" long and did not spread on the deflector shield. What could be the problem.....valve, regulator or T-stat? How do I test these components to be sure?

Try to adjust the orifice on the top of the gas valve #214 on the diagram (Turn it CCW 1/2 turn) and also adjust the air/gas mixture #217 on the diagram Burner Assembly parts for GE JGBC17GER4 - AppliancePartsPros.com If that doesn't help and you already replaced the igniter then most likely it's bad safety gas valve. Post the results. Simon.
