Chemical mix problems

Need some suggestions from you guys
PDQ M5. Soap and wax is watery and not foaming. Checked air and had good air flow. Noticed chemical pump pressure was low only about 60 psi. Normally runs over a hundred. I’m hoping the check valve might be blocked and can’t open all the way. if not do you think it is the chemical pump failing? At the cost of new pump I would like to eliminate other possibility before buying new pump. Any suggestions will be appreciated
thanks
 
60 psi is less than a third of the psi you should have. Pressure to injectors should be 200psi. Buy a new pump and then buy a stack repair kit for the pump you already have.
