Washer worn out, washer seat damaged/corroded The most likely reason is that the sealing washer or seat in the tap/faucet is defective.

Why would a kitchen Faucet run for a second when turned off?
To drain the water that is in the pipe or spout..
What is a airater?
An aerator is on the end of your kitchen or bathroom faucet spout that unscrews and holds the screen and/or water saver.
Kitchen faucet doesn't work but dishwasher does?
Possibly unscrew your aerator at the end of the spout and see if the screen is clogged. Blow it out and rescrew the aerator on. If that isn't the problem, sometimes things get caught in the spout. Unscrew the spout and turn the water on. If there is water coming from there and not out the spout when it is hooked up, the spout is plugged. If no water coming out when the spout is off, rehook spout and change cartridges or stems in the faucet AFTER shutting the water off. Depends on the brand of faucet, check the instructions for the brand and model. Also your kitchen dishwasher and sinks are run on seperate valves. The dishwasher valve is usually under the sinks (causing the water to go to the dishwasher first) the valve that was installed for the sink (before the dishwasher) may be bad too.
If water pressure from kitchen faucet is low however pressure is strong coming from sprayer What could be the problem?

Check to see if your aerator screen is plugged at the end of the spout. Unscrew it and blow it out, screw it back on.
In kitchen why is water only coming out water spout and not main faucet?
Single and two handled faucets are different in the exact mechanism but the overall process is the same. Inside of the faucet there is a valve that diverts water from the main spout to the sprayer. Squeezing the sprayer handle opens its valve, releases pressure in the faucet, and diverts water to the sprayer.It sounds like this internal valve is jammed or broken.Call the manufacturer. I had this problem in the kitchen and Moen (the maker) provided directions on how to fix it. They can also direct you to a source for the parts.Visit a plumbing supply store. If you go during the less busy times of the day (late morning before lunch for example) they will often take the time to work with you.Replace the faucet.
How do you clean out the valves under the kitchen sink. I recently have low water pressure in the kitchen sink but no where else in the house. I have already cleaned out the screen on the faucet...?
When you took the aerator off the spout, did you run the water to see if it was full pressure? If it isn't full pressure with the aerator off, sometimes stuff gets plugged in the spout itself. Sometimes you can stick a wire down it and get rid of it.
Is the water out of the kitchen faucet the same as in the toilet?
