Narrative:
Aborted takeoff. On takeoff from ord at about 90 KTS fuel flow on #1 and #3 became erratic and fell to '0.' aborted takeoff and returned to gate for maintenance. Callback conversation with reporter revealed the following information: reporter stated that although the fuel flow went to '0' on the #1 and #3 engines, they did not lose power. Maintenance subsequently found that there was an electrical interruption to the 2 fuel flow gauges causing them to lose their indications.
