CRJ200 CREW EXCEEDED STARTING EGT LIMITATIONS WHEN A START ATTEMPT WAS ACCOMPLISHED WITH THE FUEL LEVER ON.

Narrative

PRIOR TO ACFT PUSHBAC ALL CHLISTS WERE COMPLIED WITH AND NORMAL OPS TO PRE-DEP WERE COMPLETED. FOLLOWING ACFT CHLISTS; PIC NOTIFIED ME OF A 'IB/OB GND SPOILERONS FAULT' STATUS MESSAGE. THE PIC ASED ME TO DIAL UP MAINT CTL. PIC SPOE WITH MAINT AND A MECH WAS DISPATCHED TO THE GATE FOR INSPECTION. UPON ARR; MAINT PERFORMED A SERIES OF CIRCUIT BREAERS RESETS AND A PROC THAT WOULD SIMULATE ACFT LNDG -- ATTEMPTING TO RESET THE SYS. THE PROPER RESET PROC CALLED UPON THE MECH TO ADVANCE THE THRUST LEVERS OUT OF THE CUT-OFF POS TO MAX PWR FOR A FEW SECONDS; FOLLOWED BY PLACEMENT AT IDLE THEN CUT-OFF. THIS PROC WAS COMPLETED BY THE MAINT TECHNICIAN AND SUCCESSFULLY RESET THE SYS AND THE PROPER PAPERWOR WAS COMPLETED BY THE MECH -- CLRING THE OPEN DISCREPANCY. THE PIC AND I COMPLETED ALL PRE-DEP PAPERWOR AND CHLISTS. THE ACFT PUSHED FROM THE GATE ON-TIME. ON PUSHBAC; THE PIC INSTRUCTED ME TO START THE #2 ENG PER NORMAL PROCS IN CVG. I FOLLOWED PROPER STARTING FLOWS. IGNITION 'A' WAS SELECTED AND THE #2 ENG START BUTTON WAS PRESSED. IMMEDIATELY I NOTED AN AUDIBLE IRREGULARITY AND NOTED IT ITT TO RAPIDLY RISE OUT OF SYS LIMITATIONS. I IMMEDIATELY DESELECTED IGNITION 'A' AND ALLOWED THE ENG TO MOTOR. THE ITT REMAINED AT 998 DEGS C WITHOUT CHANGE. I DID NOT MOVE OR ALTER THE POS OF THE THRUST LEVERS AT ANY TIME. THE IRREGULARITY WAS IMMEDIATELY OBSERVED BY MYSELF AND I DID NOT COMPLETE THE ENG START FLOW (WHICH CALLS FOR PLACEMENT OF HAND ON PROPER ENG THRUST LEVER FOR FUEL INTRODUCTION). I STATED PROB AND PIC DECIDED TO TURN TO THE QRH FOR INCREASED ITT. I PULLED THE QRH; RESET THE ACFT TIMER; AND IMMEDIATELY PROCEEDED TO DRY MOTOR THE ENG. THE QRH PROC WAS RUN DURING DRY MOTOR -- ABNORMAL. THE MOTORING TOO APPROX 30 SECONDS TO RETURN TO NORMAL LIMITATION READING AND DRY MOTORING WAS STOPPED AT 630 DEGS C. PIC NOTIFIED MAINT AND INSTRUCTED ME TO NOTIFY RAMP CTL; I COMPLIED. ACFT RETURNED AND THE SAME MAINT TECHNICIAN BOARDED THAT HAD PREVIOUSLY CLRED THE PRE-DEP DISCREPANCY. AT THIS POINT; I NOTICED THAT BOTH THRUST LEVERS WERE STILL IN THE IDLE POS -- NOT THE FUEL CUT-OFF POS; SIGNIFYING THE IMPROPER COMPLETION OF THE RESET PROC BY THE MAINT TECHNICIAN IN THE PRE-DEP DISCREPANCY. CHIEF PLT WAS IMMEDIATELY NOTIFIED BY PIC. FLT WAS RE-DISPATCHED IN ANOTHER ACFT AND DEPARTED 1 HR LATE. FLT CONTINUED WITHOUT INCIDENT.
