My Volvo Penta 5.8 FSi (ford 351w EFI) is all back together and primed. I've been told that when it is started for the first time it should be connected to a volvo penta diagnostic computer. Is this necessary? I was told that the computer costs around $2000 so purchasing it is out of the question.

Firstly, should I be worried about starting it without the computer and secondly does anyone know of someone in florida with this type of computer.

Thanks
