you got more guts than I touching that "red wire?' thing. In excess of 10,000 volts I would guess. I would bleed the gas line right up at the valve. Make sure gas is there. The few seconds that it trys to ignite is not enough time to move much gas to the teeny orfice that is the pilot before ignition. or check to see if you are getting voltage to the valves. Remember, it's only for a few seconds before the curcuit board tells it it has failed to ignite and it shuts off. You must work quick. Good luck.
