If you are certain it has spark and fuel, have you tried attempting to start the engine with the throttle open ... say 25%?

That way we know it's getting air (?? My guess.. but it couldn't hurt to try).

check for any CELs?

But yeah if you for sure have spark, and fuel then what's missing is air but that seems to obvious to the answer, but it won't hurt to do the throttle at 25% or so just to see.. I'd try it.

why do you have to change the ignitor if you're getting spark?

Sorry maybe I don't understand the ignition system as well as I could..
