When trying to light a burner I hear it sparking at what seems to be a different burner.  It can take a while before it finally lights with a big poof.  How do I get this to fire off on the correct burner?

All igniters spark when one is calling for spark because all the spark switches are wired in series. Usually you want to clean the burner head with a wire brush. Where it sits on,  clean and dry that also. Make sure burner head is on properly and check igniter for cracks. If there's a cracks it'll shoot the spark at the closest piece of metal closest to the crack. If that all checks good then you either have a grounding issue on ignition module or the wire coming from the spark module and burner.

99.5% of time it’s just a dirty burner, gas flow obstruction.
