A United Airlines Boeing 737 with 74 persons aboard was delayed from taking off for 44 minutes in Cleveland after a valve malfunctioned on one of its two engines. A United spokeswoman said the Pratt & Whitney engine involved was similar to an engine that exploded on a British Airtours Boeing 737 in Manchester, England, last week, touching off a fire that killed 54 persons. United mechanics fixed the problem.
