Broiler doesn't ignite - Igniter glows red but no gas. Oven and stovetop burners work fine.

sounds like your ignitor is too weak. here is the method for testing the ignitor :
Disconnect or remove igniter and measure its resistance. Cold resistance should be between 50 and 150 Ohms. (The value of the resistance is not important as long as the igniter is not open or shorted).

Fiction: Testing for a good igniter is done by measuring its Resistance (Ohms).
Fact: The test of an igniter is done by measuring the current draw (amps) of the ignition circuit.

Using wrap-around amp. meter - test one leg for amp. draw.
1) NORTON (flat) Igniter - 3.2 to 3.6 amps.
2) CARBORUNDUM (round) Igniter - 2.5 to 3.0 amps.
If amp. draw NOT within proper range - replace the igniter.
If correct amp. draw is present - replace valve.
