No scanner is needed. You just short the service connector with a piece of wire or paperclip and it flashes the codes to you on the dash.
If you check in the wiki section of the forum, there are links to the service manual and that tells you what to do and what the codes mean.
All free and it is definitely where to start

If it is the crank sensor, then yes a new dizzy, it's so well integrated into the dizzy that I don't think they can be changed.
