Narrative:

Flight inbound to slc at FL350 when crew noticed left engine EPR stuck at about 1.6 and right engine at 2.0 or thereabouts. Followed procedures for erratic EPR -- compressor stall, engine failure. When left engine was pulled to idle throttle response was nil. Left engine was in idle with no throttle response. Initially, there was no throttle response at FL350 either way. After effecting descent, throttle movement was tested to bring the engine to idle. At that point, when throttle response was gone, decision was made to shut down left engine and execute precautionary single engine landing at slc.
