Narrative:
After getting a good 1.4 EPR check on both engines during the takeoff roll; the left engine would not advance any further than 1.8 EPR when 2.02 was called for; even with the throttle full forward. I initiated an abort at about 90 KTS. Speed did not exceed 100 KTS; and moderate manual braking was used (no autobrakes installed). Brake temperature never went above 100 degrees.
