What should i do when i start self cleaning the oven & i see flames?
Wipe out the oven with paper towels. As much as you can. Try putting some baking powder down to absorb the grease then wipe it out. If the flames are not huge it should be ok. Mine did that once and burned out the grease and did not damage the oven, but they were very small and burned down quickly.

i think there is some kind of shorting somewhere.

When you turned the oven off, if the ignitor went off and the gas kept flowing then the thermal valve is defective. Maybe that was the problem all along.

If the burner pressure is adjustable(some are not) you can use a small adjustable wrench to turn the gas orfice to lower the gas pressure. The orfice is usually located in the broiler/storage comaprtment at the very bottom of the range. It is the brass piece that goes into the burner venturri and is where the gas comes out. If your turn it clockwise it will decrease pressure & counter clockwise will increase pressure. If the flames are coming into the burner compartment that is quite an increase in pressure!!! Make sure the the range did not have the gas regulator removed. If it was then that would explain why the oven burner pressure is so high.
