This was kinda mentiioned , on our Viking oven both burners will glow and ignite for several seconds then the left burner weekens and goes out. the igniters stay glowing. Then it totally shuts off and restarts the same thing.

Check Ignitors for 3-3.5 amps. A weak ignitor will open the valve but only partially.
I'm assuming you mean the flame goes in and out, not the ignitor? This would make sense if weak Ignitors are the cause. If you meant that the ignitor was glowing, then not, then back on... You'd have something weird going on. I'd start by confirming a constant voltage to the ignitor even when not glowing. This would still indicate a bad ignitor(s). If voltage is dropping out your thermostat should be checked.
Ignitor PB040001 replace them both if you're getting less than 3 amps on either.
