Narrative:
We had significant ATC delay and sat near the end of the runway. We still had 1 engine shut down. ATC advised us we were #2 for takeoff. We rapidly started the engine and quickly read our checklist. We were cleared for takeoff. As we taxied on the runway completing our checklist, we noticed the dual bleed light was still on. We told ATC that we would need to clear the runway because of a pressurization problem. As soon as we turned off, the light went out. We shut down the APU as a precaution and were ready for takeoff. We felt that no maintenance action was needed or required. I am not sure that the FAA would say if we should have gone back to the gate considering that an aborted takeoff even though we never even advanced the power.

Title: A B737-200 ABORTS ITS TKOF JUST AFTER ENTERING RWY WHEN THE DUAL BLEED LIGHT IS STILL ON. THE FLT HAD BEEN WAITING FOR TKOF WITH 1 ENG SHUT DOWN. A HURRY UP DEAL.
Narrative: WE HAD SIGNIFICANT ATC DELAY AND SAT NEAR THE END OF THE RWY. WE STILL HAD 1 ENG SHUT DOWN. ATC ADVISED US WE WERE #2 FOR TKOF. WE RAPIDLY STARTED THE ENG AND QUICKLY READ OUR CHKLIST. WE WERE CLRED FOR TKOF. AS WE TAXIED ON THE RWY COMPLETING OUR CHKLIST, WE NOTICED THE DUAL BLEED LIGHT WAS STILL ON. WE TOLD ATC THAT WE WOULD NEED TO CLR THE RWY BECAUSE OF A PRESSURIZATION PROB. AS SOON AS WE TURNED OFF, THE LIGHT WENT OUT. WE SHUT DOWN THE APU AS A PRECAUTION AND WERE READY FOR TKOF. WE FELT THAT NO MAINT ACTION WAS NEEDED OR REQUIRED. I AM NOT SURE THAT THE FAA WOULD SAY IF WE SHOULD HAVE GONE BACK TO THE GATE CONSIDERING THAT AN ABORTED TKOF EVEN THOUGH WE NEVER EVEN ADVANCED THE PWR.
