... I had a similar thing happen on my '88 5k.  I found that by eliminating
the check valve I would get a good spray.  I bought a new check valve but that
did not fix the problem.  It is probably a problem with the pump, but I simply
removed the guts from the check valve and its been working fine.

HTH!
