code reader

Do anyone know of a good code reader for 83-85 Fox body? If there is one let me know. I'm trying to chase down sensors to replace and turn off the check engine light.

paper clip
see my diy link below and contained within is a link to the drawing and a how to.
beyond a paper  clip , it is also prudent to use a dc buzzer you can rob from a toy or something so you can attach it and "hear" the codes so you can write things down and not have to wonder if you blinked and missed something.
