So it turns out that the compressed air solution was a fluke. The heater ran for another week and stopped igniting again. I finally got my cheapo amazon manometer delivered, and determined there was zero pressure on the outlet side of the gas valve while the heater was attempting to ignite...

Wow, I'm jealous. I'd love to have a 'cuda project. Life gets busy, but hopefully you're able to finish it soon. Wish you the best! Yeah it could have been either I suppose. There wasn't any visible spiderwebs and the dust was minimal, which is why I hadn't thought to blow it out initially...

Sorry to disappoint Larry.. wish I did, but I don't actually own one. As an admirer it's been my default handle for years. Maybe someday

Thanks, that's good to know. If it craps out on me again and a shot of air doesn't do the trick, I'll just bite the bullet and order a new board.

I'd be inclined to agree with you K13 because I've had boards go bad in other appliances. I was just about to order one but thankfully that doesn't seem to be the issue. I may have overlooked a basic step... But I believe I found the solution. I blew some compressed air around the burners and...

Thanks for the replies I disconnected the two wires that connect to the gas valve and plugged in one probe from the multimeter to each wire. Called for heat and saw the voltage range between 26 and 28 before and during spark. I tested the ohms on the gas valve and got a reading of about 1340...
