Commuter ferry flight notices slow acceleration on #2 engine on takeoff roll. Logbooks indicate engine change required due high temperatures on aborted takeoff. Some minor adjustments made and signed-off without engine change.

Narrative:
Picked up aircraft in tampa to start trip. Discovered nose tire with cord showing. After coordinating with maintenance control, obtained a and P sign-off to ferry to maintenance base. During takeoff roll, noticed #2 engine slow to accelerate. After arriving at base, and reviewing maintenance log, noticed that 5 days earlier, a pilot had entered a reference to an aborted takeoff where the engine egt exceeded acceptable limits. (Per afm 'remove engine,' was dictated). The mechanics had closed the entry by changing some parts, made adjustments and 'operations checks good' type of entry. After bringing this to maintenance's attention, I was assigned another aircraft and sent on my trip.

AFTER BRINGING THIS TO MAINT'S ATTN, I WAS ASSIGNED ANOTHER ACFT AND SENT ON MY TRIP.
