Had the same problem on my water heater on my 07 Cougar. Replaced the gas valve....no help. Swapped it back( got a new one on my shelf now which I will never use). Found it was a bad control board for the 12 volt system. The board is attached to the water heater under the sink. Borrowed a friend's board...swapped it with mine and it worked. Bought a used board from and RV shop and worked till I traded the 5ver in.
I would take your valve off you hands. I just got done cleaning mine cause of a gas smell when it runs. I think the valve is just barely leaking around an adjustment screw. Smell only comes up when it is running so I figure that has to be the problem.
