My water pump is working for the head, the sink and the kitchen sink.
What should I check to see why the stern hand held sprayer isn't working? It's not even a dribble.

Could be a kink in the hose, also, I have to clean mine often, sediment builds in the head and clogs it
 
Mine did the same, pulled it ALL the way out, cleaned the outside of the hose it was a mess. You can get to it by taking the port panel out of the trunk as well. Remove everything and soak in about 1 cup vinegar to 1/2gl of water and all the crud will disappear. With the panel out and everything unhooked, start the water pump and check for flow. If you still have nothing then more investigation is required. The supplies hot and cold come up through the port side of the ER. Again, taking the panel out makes things much easier.

Thankyou for all these good replies!
I unscrewed the handle and ran the water pump and water came out of the hose, indicating the problem was in the handle. I cleaned the spray head and it is working now. I appreciate all your help!
