Flight Crew Returned To Gate; Flight Crew Rejected Takeoff
Aircraft
When I moved power levers forward for takeoff the left engine torque increased to 40% while the right engine remained at zero; prop oil pressure was in yellow/red and prop RPM was 300RPM. There was noticeable yaw toward the right. I immediately retarded both power levers and the right engine Oil Pressure Warning came on. I notified Tower we were aborting and he cleared us to vacate the runway. We then returned to the ramp; and deplaned the passengers.
An SF340B flight crew rejected their takeoff and returned to the ramp when the right engine failed to respond to the power lever.
