What car is it on?

You should be able to look up the exhaust and see the spark plug sparking and hear it buzzing. These seem to work best once the car and the zorts have been allowed to warm up.

Your exhaust probably isn`t earthed properly, you touching the electrode of the spark plug is what earthed it when it was out of the exhaust.

Make sure your spark is good in your exhaust

Then drive to about 5k and change gear / let off the gas and :
