There are scan tools out there but, I like using a laptop, an ALDL cable, and TunerPro RT software. This has more capability than a scan tool. Here's an example of a data log from my 88.

Want to save some money,and have someone else do it?,any rep able auto parts store has the gear to check your codes for free,whether OBI or OBII ,save you a little money,but ebay kind of expensive for that tool.

The only problem is they don't read the data stream or perform a log so, they can only give you codes but can't tell you anything else.

I have the snap-on MT2500, but don't like that it can't save/display data very efficiently. You basically have to stare at the data stream while driving to catch anything. Upgraded to the Solus Pro, and it was better because it could save everything, then either play it back on the LCD or you could upload it to your computer and then see everything graphically on the big screen. The Snap-on tools will do (almost) any make and model with the proper adapters, so I can use one tool for all my (and my families) vehicles. If you just want to read data for your '92, the WinALDL is probably your best bet if you have a laptop. IThe MT2500, Solus Pro and MODIS are actually increasing in value from when I first started tracking them 3 years ago on eBay, so you can always sell it for at or more than you paid for it.
