    Try to remove the aerator from the end of the faucet and check it for any debris, this is most likely what the problem is. If that doesn't work try to clean out the sprayer diverter, see this link for how to do that:

    I agree with amricca, ts likely a clogged aerator if your sprayer is working good.
