Austin TX help, please

Is there anyone with an Accessport in Austin willing to assist me with reading the CEL on my RX8? My car will not crank at all when turning the ignition and is giving CEL...I don't know what to do and Mazda South is closed.

Cancel this, I got a reader from advance auto...and all I'm getting is error in connection, so I'm sure that ECU must be doing this.
