A MD80 captain rejected the takeoff at 80 KTS because the left engine EPR did not appear to be at rated power following a rolling takeoff. After an engine run the crew continued to their destination with apparently normal running engines.

Narrative:
Rejected takeoff due to left engine EPR gauge indicating less that takeoff power. All other gauges indicating normal planned takeoff power. Decision made at 80 KTS with speed accelerating slightly above when normal braking applied. Taxi back to the beginning of runway and ran up both engines to takeoff thrust receiving normal EPR indications. Took off without further incident. Normal indications to our destination just like to the previous flight.
