Handle on faucet shuts off on its own
I have a Price Pfister Marielle kitchen faucet which shuts off by itself. If the lever is not pulled up at least half way, it will come back down on its own. It does it on both hot and cold sides. what is the problem?

I had the same problem. The Price Pfister web site recommends removing the handle (unscrew the dome cap, then remove the phillips screw to get the handle off) then tightening the retaining ring (I used channel lock pliers on largest setting. It worked. However the retaining ring is plastic on some models, and they recommend replacing it with a brass one. I haven't taken that step yet, we'll see how it goes (mine is plastic).
5 minute fix, did exactly as bodorj and it fixed my problem. Water can now be set to drizzle. I have a plastic retaining screw and I just tightened it with channel lock pliers set to wide. Pfister makes a retaining screw tool bot I did not need it.
Diverter is not tight. Turn off water. Take out set screw holds down handle . Pull off handle, tighten down diverter screw. If the faucet is older it should have new washers installed too.
