Pressure regulator in the pump getting dirty I'd assume. Take it out and clean it. (the one big screw on the pump case, there's a spring in there and a piston)

Could be a change in pump supply voltage

Check connections positive and ground,also a heavy electrical load could be turning on and of such as A/C.Merv
