Gas Oven does not reignite after successful preheat

Gas Oven does not reignite after preheat

My oven will preheat fine.  However, after successfully preheating, the oven will not maintain temperature.
I hear noises.  clicking and I think natural gas flow, but I don't smell gas or or hear the "flumphhh" of gas igniting.  The cycle will continue at least 3 or 4 times when I shut the oven off.

Is there more than one igniter, gas valve, or flame sensor?

Can't seem to find that model number anywhere bit it sounds like a weak igniter. Barely has enough amp draw when cold then resistance drops when it gets hot, amp draw drops and there's not enough amperage to reopen the gas valve when the relay (click) on the control board sends power to the igniter to reignite. This is all assuming it's a hot surface igniter and not a spark igniter. Post a photo of the data plate and let's see what's up with that model number.
