usually it is possible to extract the code with a paperclip and some connector under the dash. the check engine light blinks out the code. which is then matched with whatever docs you can find on the matter.
FWIW, swapping out the O2 sensor is a piece of cake. easier than changing 1 spark plug (except you have to jack it up), A 22mm open end wrench and wire cutters crimpers is all you need. get a generic 3-wire cat n(check yours before buying...86 is earlier than mine, different generation! I know it is not 4 wire but it might be 1-wire). Amazon has 'em for less than $50. beware of the guy out of Florida on ebay selling O2 sensors!
