I am trying to control a 12V DC 3W solenoid valve with arduino. The valve works perfectly fine when I directly connect it with power supply, however, when I follow this post, it doesnt have any current flowing through the valve.

I am using this Mosfet:
Vishay's IRLZ14 N-MOSFET http://www.vishay.com/docs/91325/sihlz14.pdf
I have attached a photo of my circuit here as well. Have been troubled by this for 2 days already:(
Anyone can help me with it? Appreciate soooo much!
PS. The power supply goes through a 12V regulator first before connecting to the valve.
