Default Gas stove sometimes won't light

I have a Whirlpool gas range with knobs that have a "Lite" position
where it clicks (sparks) to light the burner. Sometimes the ticking
is weak (sounding) and won't light the burner. At those times I use a
match to manually light the burners. This happens to all four burner
igniters so I don't think it is a cleaning issue. Anyone have a clue
what part needs repair? TIA

In most cases (99%) it's the spark module.
There is only 1 spark module for all 4 burners. When you lite one burner
they all spark together.
