Hooking a car up to a code reader usually doesnt accomplish anything.. especially if the car is more than a few years old.. As most other people mentioned its probably the starter relay/solenoid.. If not it could be a cap and rotor issue if the starter cranks but the car doesnt fire.. One way to test it, remove a spark plug wire from a cylinder and put a screw driver in the boot.. Have someone crank the car while another person holds the screwdriver (by the handle so you dont get shocked) in the boot.. If it sparks then you know its not an iginition issue... next thing check if the fuel pump coming on.. To do that, lay under the gas tank and have your friend roll the key forward, dont crank it, just roll it forward to the run position.. If you hear a hum coming from the tank it means the fuel pump isnt dead.. If all those things work and it still wont start.. get it towed to a mechanic because its obviously something else..
