Checking codes

I was trying to check the codes for my '87 4runner. I shorted the connector between the T and ground, even tried between the T and E1. All I get is a solid check engine light. I know there has to be codes in there as The light keeps coming on when driving. What am I doing wrong?
The reason I am checking is to help diagnose the following problem.
When starting a cold engine, it runs fine for a few mins then starts to miss badly, not stalling though. Playing with the clutch and throttle keeps me going if I am on a flat road but going up an onramp I have to pull over and wait 10 to 15 seconds. Then it runs fine until the next time it sits overnight and is cold. When this is happening , the check enginne light comes on and goes off as soon as it is running properly again.
I have a 22re with a 5 speed.
Any advise?

Throttle body cleaner spray and MAF sensor cleaner spray fixed that problem on my buddies 2002 TACO. The guys at the TOYOTA service dept. didn't want to work on a Saturday and told me what to do over the phone. LOL
 
Thanks for the ingo guys, I haven't had a chance to try anything yet but hopefully this weekend. I will post what the results are.
