Narrative:

On oct/xx/93, approximately XX30Z, flight was cleared for takeoff from san jose, costa rica. We were flying an aircraft and I was the captain. Maximum takeoff power was applied with brakes on. At brake release the #1 egt electronically spiked to maximum needle swing on the gauge momentarily and we aborted the takeoff at about 5 to 10 KTS. The spike lasted only a second or 2 then, as we retarded the throttle, the gauge read normally. We tried to recreate the spike by running up the engine twice at full power and could not duplicate the momentary spike. We referred to all checklists and procedures then determined as a crew, we were safe and in compliance to takeoff without any further actions required. We continued the flight and landed at our destination iah with all system operating normally.
