You must determined what threw the ecu into Guardian. Once rectified Guardian will go away.

502 MPI's do not have a guardian mode. If your engine is a 1997, then it should be a 502EFI with a VST system. No guardian mode either.

GD I was thinking different unit..

FWIW

Low oil pressure engine run rpm threshold 400 RPM
Low oil pressure engine run time threshold 10 Sec
Low water flow engine run rpm threshold 2000 RPM
Low water flow engine run time threshold 10 Sec
The time variable is what is allowed before RPM reduction is activated
These variables will reduce RPM
