The stove top works but the oven does not. I was looking for an error code "F1" or something but the only thing on the display is an 8, the bake light and the bake time light. I check the sensor and both elements for continuity. They are fine.The only signs of any sparking was the oven light but that's on a different circuit.Any ideas? Thanks in advance.

Try unplugging/removing power from the unit for a couple minutes to see if the control board will reset. If not then odds are that the control board is toast. The pop would have created an electrical spike and this can blow electronic parts on the board.

You said that "The only signs of any sparking was the oven light" so I assumed that it had shorted out for some reason and that you should check it for damage. You have to find out what shorted out to cause the pop. Then you can move on to the current problem with the control board.
