I'm having trouble with the ignition on all burners most of the time. They either do not ignite at all, just click, or the ignite and the clicking doesn't stop until the burners are turned off. Sometimes they work fine but rarely.

That could be caused by no spark actually at the burner, the spark sparking to a ground instead of the burner, a 'dirty' spark electrode (at the burner) or gas ports nearest the spark electrode not allowing gas to flow out of them to be lit.

Try watching the spark in the dark to see what is occurring with it.

There must be a proper flame on the burner that is turned on to ground the spark and stop the clicking once lit. A 'dirty' spark electrode or poor flame nearest the spark electrode could prevent the spark from being grounded to stop the clicking.
