Kitchen faucet problem

[lcarter]

We have an intermittent kitchen faucet problem. When you push the lever up for hot or cold water, it sounds as though the water starts to run but it does not. When this happens, we go up to the bathroom faucet and turn it on for a second(water runs). We then return to the kitchen and try again. It begins to run. This has worked every time this has occurred.

Anyone have any ideas about this problem?
Thanks,
