Sometimes a small piece of seal material breaks off and plugs your passageways. Disassemble it again and look for which passageway is blocked and then attend to that.

Also, the washer on a shutoff valve sometimes dislodges and then gives issues when used again. This happens mostly in under sink shutoff valves

Replacing the cartridge should solve the problem, the balancing spool is stuck, replacing it will solve the problem. The valve should look like this http://www.moen.ca/shared/pdf/3170pt.pdf . I have unstuck the spools in the past, soaking it in white vinegar will help to remove build up.

The antiscald device needs to be adjusted. It's behind the escucheon and determines the amount of hot water flow.
SOURCE: Kohler shower facuet pressure balancing problem?
ever since the pressure balancing regulations came out for shower valves, they have went from simple to very complicated devices. sounds as if some foreign material caused the valve to stop working. that valve is quit difficult to reassemble correctly because there is only one way it works and can be assemmbled many ways that do not work concerning alignment of the ports. if you dissassemble it and check that all the moving parts are functioning in the balancing cartridge you can then look closely at the alignment of the ports on the cartridge that the handle is connected to. understanding how the port align as the handle is turned should assist you in assembling it correctly......hope this helps.

SOURCE: The hot water shuts off during a shower. All the
One of the problems with these has been that you must be using at least 1/2 gallon per minute for the burners to ignite. In the summer when the incoming water is already warm, we tend to not use enough hot water to keep it lit. Try turning on the hot water faucet in the sink and 'wasting' some hot water during the shower. If that fixes the problem you can find some other adjustments on the Aquastar website to help lower the temp some.
