BAS/ESP problem

I own a 2000 Mercedes Benz clk430 coupe. Recently I used seafoam top engine cleaner. A couple of days later I had multiple misfires that have yet to calm down. Within the next couple of days I started the car and the brake pedal was extremely stiff. As I was driving on the highway at about 60mph, the ESP/BAS warnings came on. By the time I got to my destination they went off. These warnings only cone on while on the highway after about 5-10 minutes. I changed the brake light module and that did not help. Does anyone have an idea of what might be going on?

Check or replace the brake light switch.

when I did more reading and looked the booster hose broke at the connecter at the manifold. Now my biggest hurdle is finding those parts. Seems as if no one has them.
