If your brake pedal is hard it's probably because you're not getting
any servo assistance.

This could be because you have a disconnection or break in your
vacuum system pipe network.

The assistance is given by your vacuum system which is downstream
of your MAF. If you do have a break in your vacuum system, this
would result in your engine drawing in large quantities of unmetered
air which would give you very rough/ poor running.

Go to your brake reservoir, behind your coolant water expansion/top-up
reservoir, and you'll see a big round metal lump attached to the rear
engine bulkhead just in front of where the driver sits.

Find the black rubber hose coming out of it. Follow this hose, and all
branches out of it until you find a disconnection/ break/ hole.

Fix that and get your brakes working again. When you've fixed your
brakes, then you can investigate your EGR paperclip fault.
