no this does work. the hard part is finding a places that has a converter. well atleast i have not yet found one. and i do knwo that they are not has cheap as most eletric parts are. i heard like 10-75 dollors. this would really suck. you need to get your voltage up to at least 50 i think. it would be nice if any one knew what voltage the spark plug in the car works at? then we would know a great voltage, and we would know that it sparks.
