Clean the rod with a scotchbrite pad and wipe the porcelain with alcohol. Check it closely for carbon tracking. It could be an ignitor alignment problem if you can light it other ways but the ignitor rod won't. DON'T try to bend the rod w/o heating it with a torch first! I also blow the dust out of all my burners every few years.
Check the system pressure with everything lit. Craig
also take out and clean the gas orifice. It has a very very small opening, and even a bit of dust, spider web etc. will reduce gas flow. And once you get it lit, look carefully at the flame. A good sized blue flame, if it isn't likely a partially plugged orifice.
