ON the end of the faucet you will most likely find a screw on fitting on the very end. This contains a screen or aerator. This can become clogged up with hard water deposits or dirt and debris that has gotten into the water. Remove the end and clean out the wire screen and place it back on the faucet.
MOEN ARE NOTORIOUSLY difficult to get appart. There is a "Special tool" just for Moen faucets/tubs/showers. It is like an old "Brake drum puller" or "Faucet handle puller". I think about $10 to $12 at Home Depot or Lowes. FYI Moen and Delta both give "FREE PARTS" on "MOST" faucets for many years if not life, if your not in a hurry. Check your original paperwork for warranty. The washer at the end of the valve after being installed for more than a year, usually binds up and gets torn apart when removed. It makes it VERY difficult to remove, even with the "Special tool". They (Moen) give you a plastic wrench like thing that almost never works, with the purchase of a "New valve" DELTA800-345-3358 ..MOEN-800-289-6636
Try removing the aerator on the faucet. If that resolves the popping sound, try replacing it with one that allows for a higher flow of water. (Also the existing aerator may be clogged).
Some times just jigle handle rapidly on and off detach pull down faucet from hose chec for clogs or debrie on screen, try for water with still detached. Turn valves to off position under the sink, then turn them on slowly to see if they are working. if so witch is very likely, try to blow back through the faucet hose with the handle on, to try and break up the clog.
You have a bad internal o-ring or the sprayer o-ring is leaking, if you look under the sink turn it off and then turn it back on, if you see it leaking out the center shft where the water pipes go into then the faucet may have a broken pipe or loose pipe. check and tell me where it's leaking at. You can buy kits to repiar them they are inexpensive.
Question edited for clarity and add CAPS.
Here is the parts breakdown. Your model is discontinued.
The hand lever unscrews, the part that holds the handle looks like a push fit and then there is a screw collar holding the cartridge. Increase Zoom to 200%.

Hello F Cashman and thank you for your interest in Moen products. The handles for the Moen Waterhill Chrome Two-Handle High Arc Kitchen Faucet are removed by holding the lever stationary, while unscrewing the base of the handle hub counter-clockwise to remove the complete handle. If you have additional questions, please do not hesitate to contact us directly. https://solutions.moen.com/Article_Library/Kitchen_Handle_2H%3A_Threaded_Hub
Test the flow of water with the showerhead removed (through the shower arm). If you are getting good flow through the shower arm- clean the showerhead to remove any debris and replace if necessary. If there is still no flow, replace the cartridge.

Check the power to it, battery or transformer unit.
Ensure that the data cable and power source cable (battery pack or AC adapter) are plugged in tight and secure. Check Batteries: If using a battery pack, ensure the batteries are installed correctly and are snug in the battery holder. Loose batteries can cause the faucet to operate erratically.

go there the manual for it is there, all mine are.
some are very tricky,
RTM read the manual costs ZERO to read.
and is best for sure if tools are needed, or other odd things.
no 2 valves on earth are the same zillions, models unless are.
you either do not have it seated all the way or you have damaged an o-ring anytime you are putting togethr parts with o-rings you should make sure and put stem grease on the o-rings to ensure not to cut or damage them. if you have damaged the o-ring instead of a whole new part you can take the o-ring out take it to your local hardware store and match it with a new one. dont forget the stem grease.
I have no experience with modern quarter-turn taps as I prefer the ease and economy of traditional tap washers. I do have lots of experience with O rings of various types.
Most commonly O ring breakage is due to the wrong size being used - diameter and/or section. when machined metal parts are fitted together and sealed with an O ring the clearance between the parts is very small - just enough to allow a sliding fit. The O ring(s) generally locate in a groove, sometimes on the end face but mostly around the diameter.
O ring sizes are chosen to completely fill grooves on the end face without either stretching or compressing the rubber. Grooves around the diameter require similar consideration though some stretching is needed to assemble them; once fitted the rubber should not be under either tension or compression. The chosen section of the ring will allow the groove to be filled when the components are fitted together therefore when they are separated it will seem the O ring is too thin for the groove. If the correct size is used with carefully machined components and suitable lubrication applied during assembly there should be no difficulty.
O rings are available in a number of different materials from soft natural rubbers to fairly hard synthetic materials.
I suggest you carefully measure the components and compare your results with the supplied O rings.
