PO300 is Random/Multiple Cylinder Misfire Detected. Usually this is due to old broken down plug wires, or worn out spark plugs. However, I would check that the plug wires are attached to the correct plugs first. If they are correct, and have not been replaced recently, change them and the plugs. Let us know if that helps you.

P0404 is Exhaust Gas Recirculation (EGR) circut, open position performance problem.
