Narrative:

The number one engine would not advance to full takeoff power with both thrust levers in the flex detent. Number two engine was at full flex takeoff power of 1.60 EPR and number one would only achieve 1.40 EPR. The takeoff was rejected at approximately 70 KTS. All else after the rejected takeoff was normal. The aircraft ended up returning to the gate and turned over to maintenance. Everything was normal until we tried to advance the power for takeoff. Number one engine just wouldn't advance to takeoff EPR.
