I have a 48″ Jenn-air range ; that main oven flame was sputtering and shut off. I started smelling gas and called gas company they came out and said he had a gas leak. I went out and order a regulator. Replaced regulator unit still does the same thing all other burners are Ok could it be the safety valve?

Its possible it could be a bad safety valve. But personally I would probably try replacing the ignitor first. If the ignitor is right on the border of going bad and not getting hot enough to keep the safety valve open this could cause the sputtering of the burner. If you put an amp clamp around one of the wires going to the ignitor I would assume you should read between 3.2and 3.6 amps with a good ignitor. Ive seen a weak ignitor cause this issue on a whirlpool oven but it was a pretty basic model.

If the burners on top are working , check for a spider web in the burner near the air shutter or valve orifice,
similar to what happens on outdoor grills. This can give an erratic flame.
