I checked the solenoid. It is not clogged, it switches immediately when I apply power from the battery.
Resistance seems to be within specification.

I wonder what the voltage coming from ECU should be. With ignition on, it is 6.4V. I have no idea is it as it should be or not.

As to mesh filter - it is there on the parts list, but for the life of me I cant find where it is. Some sources say that it does not have one at all.

I am getting more questions than answers :(
