Trying to find a code reader.....

Ok so I am looking at buying a 1990 N/A 5spd. The check engine light is one and the guy doesn't know why it is on. Is there any way to find out what code it has so I know what I need to replace if I do get it.

Also the guy says that it runs fine but it doesnt stay fulling under full throttle. Any ideas???

Here's some info on checking the codes on S5 RX-7s. All you really need is a piece of wire to ground the check plug:

...or this site, which has a helpful photo for finding the green plug:
