Water pressure problems in sink...How can I fix?

The pressure on my kitchen sink faucet has reversed. It used to be that when you turned the faucet on you would have high pressure and if you turned on the sprayer the pressure/flow from the faucet would decrease. Now, the water from the faucet is low until you turn on the sprayer and then the pressure from the faucet is back to normal. How do I fix this?

We tried cleaning the tip.

Unscrew the screen nut at the tip of the faucet. There are probably minerals or something stopping up the screen. Put a rag on the nut before you put the pliers on it, so you do not scratch the chrome off.
