Dryer Repair

Recently had a slight gas smell when opening door. Now noticed heating is on and off. I took front off to watch ignited and flame. The igniter glows and the flame lights for about 7 seconds and goes out. After about a minute in repeats. Flame sensor, both thermostats, and igniter all have continuity. The 2 pin coil reads 1305 Olms. The 3 pin coil reads 1970 olms left to center pin and 570 olms from left to right pin. Any ideas would be helpful.

Dryer starts, coil glows, gas comes on for 15 seconds, cuts off.
after 20 seconds, gas comes on for about 8 seconds, then cuts off. This continues until load is dry (VERY LOW HEAT).

Changed cycling thermostat. Cut-off thermostat is good.

What else is there?
