The issue will more than likely be down to the Hose you are using... If there is not enough water coming through then it can't build up the pressure and keep it constant.
I had the same issue and a half press on the nozzle usually sufficed.

Is there a shampoo bottle on it? IF SO fill it up (with water if nothing else)
as it could be drawing air in from there (might be worth making sure the little pipe that joins the pump to the shampoo tank is tight and is actually in the tank.
make sure the water supply getting to it is good, and the hose isnt kinked.
if the pressure is still coming and going, then it sounds like the seals might of gone in the pump head.

like twins said if you are using the hozelok conector with the white plunger in the centre and the red collar on the outside then this could be the problem. I just push the plunger up so the thinnest part of the neck on the plunger can be sniped and it will fall out.
