Facet leak....to no pressure?!!?

[lhfreak]

HI!

I had a dripping bathroom faucet, so I googled, found some tips, so here's what I did....

The drip came from the hot side, so I shut off the hot valve underneath the sink. Then I replaced the stem unit with a new one from Home Depot. When I turned the valve on, and tried it, it spattered a little, and then went to a VERY small flow. The cold side now does the same thing, and I haven't even touched the cold valve! Also, when I turn the faucet off, it not only leaks, but has the same small flow. I tried to reverse the stem, thinking I put it in wrong, but that made it worse. Now I have both valves shut off. Can anyone help please?

Thanks!

Don't you think more people would help if you say what kind of faucet you're messing with? Unless it's a secret...

A wild guess: wrong stem - Another wild guess: you dropped the old rubber thingy inside the faucet.
