Oven is less than 5 years old and the door seals are good. Takes oven about 3 minutes to light with electric pilot. 450 Degrees takes 35 minutes. I think I have some kind of gas pressure or flow problem. Or some type of mixture problem. My other gas appliances work fine. My Themostat and temperature are accurate I checked them with a electronic lab thermometer. Any help would be appreciated.

Mine gets so hot so quick that I put the biscuits in as soon as I preheat it and by the time the preheat light goes off, my biscuits have only about one minute remaining!!
You need a repairman to check out ur prob. Gas ain't nothin to play with no matter where it is coming from.

The oven shouldn't take more than a minute, at most, to light, with the electronic glo-igniter. If it's taking longer, then there's definitely an issue with the igniter, probably got a crack in the ceramic element. That makes a high resistance connection between the two pieces where they touch and the electricity has a much harder time getting across the cracked area to allow the gas valve to open. This could be the whole problem, or there could be more once this is replaced. It should be done by an experienced repair tech, not something the average homeowner should be messing with.
