My Volvo has been running a little off lately. Went to start it up this morning and it said "Stop Engine...Computer Failure"
Where should I go from here?

My Volvo grader will do that sometimes. Was told that when I start it, I have to turn the key on, let the dash cycle through, like 5 or 10 seconds then hit the starter. Never had a loader do that. Ecu failure, but normally there is a code with it and it starts up. What is it E, F, G, H

Try disconnecting the battery for about 30 minutes. This often will reset the computer. While waiting, check all connections, starter and frame grounds, plug connectors, to be tight and clean. A loose connection may also be why it was 'running a little off' lately.

Try posting more info. Year make, serial number. I can't help you mechanic wise, but if you are patient, someone should respond.
