Narrative:

On applying takeoff power on B767-300, the left engine high pressure message appeared on EICAS. Takeoff aborted at about 30 KIAS. Message went out when power retarded. Conferred with maintenance by radio. They had us run engine to 80% N1 -- message did not reappear. Sfo maintenance in concurrence with ATC maintenance control, concluded that valve had been stuck and was now ok. Another takeoff was attempted with same results. Returned to gate and left high pressure valve was put on mco. Flight later departed without incident. In retrospect, should not have let maintenance talk me into trying another takeoff without them investigating problem or at least documenting the problem with an mco.

Title: A B767-300 FLC REJECTED A TKOF, AT LOW SPDS, DUE TO AN EICAS #2 HIGH PRESSURE BLEED VALVE AT SFO.

Narrative: ON APPLYING TKOF PWR ON B767-300, THE L ENG HIGH PRESSURE MESSAGE APPEARED ON EICAS. TKOF ABORTED AT ABOUT 30 KIAS. MESSAGE WENT OUT WHEN PWR RETARDED. CONFERRED WITH MAINT BY RADIO. THEY HAD US RUN ENG TO 80% N1 -- MESSAGE DID NOT REAPPEAR. SFO MAINT IN CONCURRENCE WITH ATC MAINT CTL, CONCLUDED THAT VALVE HAD BEEN STUCK AND WAS NOW OK. ANOTHER TKOF WAS ATTEMPTED WITH SAME RESULTS. RETURNED TO GATE AND L HIGH PRESSURE VALVE WAS PUT ON MCO. FLT LATER DEPARTED WITHOUT INCIDENT. IN RETROSPECT, SHOULD NOT HAVE LET MAINT TALK ME INTO TRYING ANOTHER TKOF WITHOUT THEM INVESTIGATING PROB OR AT LEAST DOCUMENTING THE PROB WITH AN MCO.
