I went with the programmer and don't have any recommendations for a code reader. but a quick search on Ebay showed a bunch of options between $20 and $100.

You may want to have your alternator checked. If it is good, then have your voltage sensor checked. My battery recently went south and my battery guage indicator swung down toward the L everytime I started the engine until I installed a new battery.

Probably, did you install the battery yourself? If not, you could have a loose or dirty connection at the battery or a bad ground somewhere.
