No, you cannot pull codes without a reader or scanner.

Turn the ignition to on. Is the CELight on for a few seconds. If no, then PCM is not getting power.

Check CKP and CMP and the associated wiring. Check ignition coil. Check battery cables and wiring to starter.

If don't mind losing all your CEL codes, then try unhooking the battery for a few minutes. Sometimes, this helps to reset the computer and PATS, and the car will then start.

and of course, check wiring harness. One CEGer who had no start issues and wiring problems had the issue being the TPS wiring.
