Electric Power Washer Surging

My electric power washer wont hold pressure when I attach a nozzle to the
wand. Instead it surges; motor on, motor off, motor on, motor off.

If I remove the nozzle, the motor comes on and pumps water out the end of
the wand, much like a garden hose.

When I took the cover off, I see there is a plastic switch thingy that has
water attached to one end and an electrical wire to the motor solenoid. This
is likely my problem, agreed?

Anybody know the name of that part, or have a different solution?

Thanks...

I"ve got plenty of pressure at the source, but I'll check for obstructions
at the inlet.

Thanks for the response.
