Well the first step is to clean off both the spark thingies and the aluminum piece (the flame diffusers) with the holes in it where the gas comes through. You might want to boil up some water and drop them in if they pull out. Some GEs screw the flame diffusers down to the cooktop, in which case I would recommend you leave them in place- often the screws become brittle from repeatedly being heated up and break when you try to remove them.
At any rate, you need to get all the holes as clear as possible, using a needle or thin nail or something like that and clean off the spark igniters (finishing off with fine sandpaper or emery board works well- just enough to get the metal back to silver color)
One thing about spark igniters- when you turn one dial, all the spark igniters create sparks (or should). Do none of the burners work, or just the one where the gravy spilled over?
