As the RPM come up, the marginal injector(s) get more fuel - helping to quite the nailing. Idle and just above idle is where nailing will be easiest to hear.

I don't really think an internal leak/dribble will sound very different than a low pop pressure - IE: they both tend to nail BUT there might be some 'old timers' here who know how to tell them apart.....?
