Narrative:
We were cleared for takeoff on runway xy. I was the pilot flying. I advanced the throttles on the pw engines to get an EPR of 1.1. I then called for takeoff thrust. As the captain advanced the throttles to takeoff thrust we both realized that the #2 engine was not spooling up. The captain immediately pulled the throttles back to idle and I told tower that we were aborting the takeoff. The aborted takeoff happened at approximately 30 KTS. Tower asked us to make a right turn off the runway and told us he observed white smoke coming out of the #2 engine. We stopped the aircraft once we were clear of the runway. After the aircraft was stopped we observed that the #2 engine had flamed out and the captain then moved the fuel switch for the #2 engine to off. We never received any warning or caution messages before we turned off the fuel switch. We contacted maintenance control and they asked us to return to the gate and let station maintenance look at the aircraft. An operations vehicle informed us they did not observe any damage; fire; smoke; or fluids coming from the aircraft so we taxied back to the gate. Station maintenance was unable to start the #2 engine so they performed a tail swap and we flew back to our filed destination.
