Cory, The piece you describe is the pressure regulator, so sounds like you need to get it replaced or rebuilt, BUT - before you do, try taking a metal thing that's not too heavy - like the end of an adjustable wrench, and banging on one of the pipe connections at the end. May unstick something (you have nothing to lose with the regulator, but try not to damage the compression nut...).
