QUESTION: After discovering the method of code retrieval codes 42 and 21 are displayed via the engine warning light. Could something have been dislodged when the rack boots were replaced. I'm sure the problem did not exist prior.

Answer
The code 21 is a main oxygen sensor failure code, it may have been disconnected during the repair, there are two O2 sensors before the cat converters one on each cylinder bank in the exhaust manifold. The 42 code is a vehicle speed sensor code, this could also have been disconnected, if none of the connectors are off  and there a no wires damged then the systems need to be diagnosed using the repair manual precedures.
