Question Amana dryer problems

Help. I have an amana gas dryer that works perfect for the first 5 min. then the flame goes out and will not come back on. At that piont the timer stops and the dryer runs forever with no heat. I have already put in a timer and checked the thermostats with an ohmmeter. All seems OK, but still have a problem, I can't afford a new one yet.

If you let it sit awhile and then try it again will the heat come back on?
