If I use a heat sourch on the thermostat the igniter will go out and then come back on when the thermostat cools. Any idea what the problem may be?

If it does not reach the correct amp draw it may partially open the safety valve or may not open it at all depending how high the amp draw is. Here is a link that will walk you thru properly checking the safety valve. Gas Oven Troubleshooting Video
