Is there an easy way to display engine codes or do I need to buy a code reader?

Forget the readers and all the equipment. Our cars are still simple to deal with and here is a link to a page where you can do it with simple tools and it even has diagrams and code listings.

there is an even easier way to do it but i forgot how right now. all you need is a piece of wire and you jump two terminals at the eec connector and then the "check engine" light will flash a certain number of times thus giving you the code. but i forget which two wires it is, i'll remember by the end of the day and post back soon.

The diagram for what you are talking about is also shown in that diagram on the site that I posted. It's one of the last ones.
