I have a Price Pfister Marielle Kitchen Faucet
That faucet was discontinued some time back for the one you ordered parts for and the only way to get the part if it is still available is to know the part number. Now if you have a plumbing parts house in your area that specializes in faucet parts they may be able to match up the old part if you still have it.
If you can find the part number for the faucet you have then the part may still be available from Price Pfister.
I am trying to use
Some of the drain plugs have holes or slots in them so that the stopper can not be removed without taking the actulating lever out from under the sink. This rod is part of the linkage that is hooked to lift rod on top, Unscrew retaining nut to remove rod so you can take stopper out. Remember that any water that is in sink is going to run out of this hole once you remove rod. Good luck and thank you.
The hot and cold are
Hot on left.
Cold on right.
Some single handle faucets have bleed-over where both hot and cold enter mixing valve each time handle is turned on, even when faucet calls for just cold or just hot.
Otherwise maybe a do-it-yourself plumber got pipes backwards... or maybe the tub used to be on other side of wall, and tub was moved during remodeling but pipes were not changed.
To fix problem:
First of all, turn off shower faucet. Turn on Hot at sink and put ear against shower faucet listening for sound of water flowing through the mixing valve.
If mixing valve is working fine, you need to open wall and investigate more.
For example if you have access door, reach in and feel which pipe is hot.
Pipes might need to be reversed if problem comes up in home inspection, otherwise the problem will not harm anything.
Have a pfizer three piece
When the cartridge starts to fail it becomes hard to move like that.
Turn off the water under the sink, then remove the cartridge out of the center of the assembly. Depending on the valve system, you may need to get the proper tool.
It's a relatively simple process, but sometimes the cartridges become trapped into place with mineral deposits from the water. Just work with it a while and it will eventually come out and the new cartridge generally slips right into place.
Good luck.
I have a Price Pfister
The cartrididge seals have gone bad for what ever reason and the repair is simple enought but I woul take the replacement unless they want to pay for the plumber to come and fix it.
Newly installed Price Pfister single
Is newly installed a phrase for under 6 months? If this is a faucet that is about 3 months old, it could either be hard water (possible debris) or a control valve failure. I would suggest you turn it in for a warranty correction. If that is not an option, your best bet is to shut off the hot and cold water underneath the sink, remove the handle and dismantle down to the valve cartridge. Remove and replace the cartridge. If this fixes it, make a written note as to when it was done. If the problem returns again in a short time, it's something coming through your water and will continue to give you grief. In that case, buy a two handle faucet and forget the fancy fixture.

How to remove spray handle?
Remove the retaining nut under that should be a fitting with a small horse shoe shaped retainer chip. Remove that wit small sharp tool maybe a small mini screw driver and and it will come right off.
The pump on the soap
It needs replaced. Get the parts and it will come with the instructions to get you back pumping soap.
I installed a new Price
No and you can thank you government rep next time you see or talk to him for this. The valve is set to give no more than 110 to 115 degree water and cannot be changed. If you want hotter water you will need to install a non-scald faucet. Now if you are not getting to the 110 degree mark then you will need to disassemble the valve body and look for debris in the hot water inlet side.
Now when it is apart turn the water on low and flush the piping out before putting it back together.
