Timing delay when on bake

Oven/Range/Cooktop Repair
1

I have a whirlpool Super Capacity 465 with accubake system. If I set the gas range to bake it goes to pre-heat, & starts counting down from 10 min. during that 10min nothing happens, only when that 10min runs out the range fires??? If I set it to broil, it goes to pre-heat & fires within 5 to 10 seconds just like it should. It seems like some type of timing delay issue. Any suggestions on what is going on or what part I might need???

Most likely the problem is a bad oven Bake igniter.

Thank you for such a quick responce. Just one more question before I purchase an oven bake igniter. during that pre-heat time the oven bake igniter is lit up, there is no smell of gas? Does the oven bake igniter control the input of gas as well?thanks
