Since this is a vehicle made before OBD-II, you can read the codes out with an analog voltmeter.
The cheapest reader is simply a short piece of wire.
Do not buy an OBD-II reader -- that engine uses an EEC-IV computer (aka OBD-I) and doesn't implement the OBD-II interface. OBD-II only applies to 1996 and newer vehicles.
