Narrative:

I was called on reserve to fly a ferry flight. I went into dispatch to talk about the status of the plane and our flight. The aircraft had speed restrictions for a main landing gear door missing and I wanted that reflected on the flight plan. I also talked to maintenance about why the airplane was being ferried. They said it had had an oil pressure issue on the previous day's flight. I asked if it had been fixed and they said it had operation checked good. After dealing with other minor maintenance issues we started the engines and I noticed the engine pressure maintained well inside the normal range. We thoroughly briefed our plan as a crew and prepared for takeoff. As the first officer added power during the takeoff I watched the oil pressure closely. Before the throttles even got to the set position the pressure was indicating in the yellow range and indicated 120 psi and climbing fast at the rejection. I do not believe we had even reached 40 KTS at that time.the event occurred because the AC was not properly repaired. It seemed that it could not be duplicated by maintenance when they tried the night before.

Title: A reserve Captain; asked to ferry a CRJ-200 that had been written up with an oil pressure issue the night before but which could not be duplicated by maintenance; monitored oil pressure closely as the First Officer began the takeoff roll. When the oil pressure fell into the yellow range early in the roll the takeoff was rejected and the aircraft returned to the gate.
