You shouldn't need a code reader for an OBD 1 system. There should be a short to give you codes on the check engine in the dash. Refrence your manuels.

there is a little conector under the glovebox. you have get a piece of wire or a paper clip and connect the two holes. then turn your key to the on position and it will flash codes.

reading codes

Once you've done your diagnostics, you clear the code by either removing the neg battery terminal or pulling a backup/radio fuse (in ek's its in the engine bay, closest to the firewall, second from the left).
