Have you let it run through more than one zone, to determine if you have low
pressure in just one zone, or ALL zones ?


Know this might give you a good hint as to the problem........

It's crazy, sometimes they all work, sometimes none work, and
sometimes only one zone will come on full blast (and the others barely
trickle)---- the one that is the farthest away.

I live in the city. Inspected parts of the pipes, some are buried
underground and can't see them. Could it be related to the neighbors?


Based on that description, it is a system pressure problem. I would
install a pressure gauge and see what the pressure is doing both with
the sprinklers on and off and at different times of the day.

I suspect that someone up thread has it correct - all the neighbors
trying to water at the same time.
