Hi and welcome to FixYa. I am Kelly.
There are 6 things that can cause this condition. 3 No Spark and 3 Spark observed.
No Spark
1. Spark Plug Gap
2. Defective Transformer or Ignitor
3. Cracked Spark Plug
With Spark
1. Pump Pressure
2. Restricted fuel flow due to:
a. Seal Leak
b. Filter Blocked
c. Nozzle Restriction
3. Fuel Filter Restriction
Download this manual:
http://www.desatech.com/techDocs/DESA%20SPARK%20PLUG%20IGNITION%20SERVICE%20MANUAL.pdf
Go to the pdf file page 11 for the test procedure. Start with the "Observed Fault."
You may not be able to check step 4 per isntructions but, if you have fuel pressure is should work.
Read step 5 carefully before proceeding with work on the fuel nozzle. (page 12)
In step 6 Note there is a fuel filter in-line. (page 13)
WIRING DIAGRAM IS ON PAGE 23 OF THE MANUAL.
Clicking on the www at the bottom of the pdf pages will bring up a parts link.
This should get you going.
Thanks for choosing FixYa,
Kelly
Somehow I missed that in your post. My mistake. Here is the propane manual:

Here is your original post. I am adding here to comment: 15. Nozzle and Fuel Line Visually examine the nozzle and fuel line for foreign material or other damage. If you find blockage or damage, repair or 29. Thermocouple Turn off gas supply. Remove thermocouple from gas valve. Using a digital multi-meter set to the lowest DC millivolt setting (meter needs to have alligator clips on ends of leads), clip black lead to the very tip of thermocouple (end removed from valve). Clip red lead to the outer casing of thermocouple for ground. Relight unit output should be between 18 and 28 28. Control Valve Turn off gas supply to heater. Remove bottom of base (if equipped). Remove thermocouple from valve. Using a digital multimeter in the lowest ohm's setting, place the red lead to the internal center of valve (where thermocouple was removed) and black lead to casing of valve for ground. Resistance should be between 100 to 200 milliohms. Higher resistance indicates a short in the Electromagnetic Power Unit. Lower resistance indicates a broken wire
replaced the regulator , hose and even an new propane tank.
Now I can get a flame , but the heater blows out cold air even when wide open. when I turn the heater down it goes out.
Is this problem the regulator or thermo couple?
replace as needed.

You gave me a download for a manual for a diesel / kerosene heaters.
My heater is propane. No spark plug , no filter.
Can you send me a manual for a propane Ready heater please.
