There is a ball or cartridge in the faucet that diverts the water to the sprayer when you use it. These can become stuck from minerals in the water. You can take it apart and put some CLR or full strength toilet cleaner in it and let it sit for a while. The toilet cleaner can cause burns so be careful with that. Slowly turn the water on just a bit to flush out the cleaner and reassemble. Turn the water on, Hot, hold the sprayer and tap the side of the faucet at the base of the spout with the handle of a table knife or similar weight metal. The vibration may cause the ball to release.

What would cause the water flow in a kitchen faucet not to come on and then come on all of a sudden and sometimes the sprayer works and sometimes it does not?

The easy answer is sediment like lime or build-up. Unscrew the round part at the end of the faucet where the water comes out. There is a screen located in it. Check to make sure the screen is not blacked. If it is you can pick up a replacement from any home improvement store. As for the sprayer there is also a screen inside of the sprayer. You can take it apart and clean it or just buy a replacement for about $10. CLR is a cleaner that I have used to clean and remove sediment.

Why is there no water coming out of sink faucet in bathroom but tub faucet works?

The shut off valve under the sink, the faucet itself, or most likely, the screen in the end of the spout is plugged. If neither hot or cold is coming out, it is kind of unlikely both shut off valves and both sides of the faucet would go bad at the same time. The screen being clogged would stop any water from coming out. The screen just unscrews out of the spout.

Why would the pressure in a bathroom faucet suddenly drop?

First place to check would be the airator screen on the faucet. The little screen where the water pours out of the screen could be plugged with iron or calcium depending on your water supply or plumbing material. The screen is just screwed in and should be able to be unscrewed by hand or gently with a pair of plyers.
