I know the P0300 and P0304 are random cylinder misfire and cylinder #4 misfire,
not sure about the others, but,
a good place to start, would be changing your plugs and swapping your #four coil with another and see if the misfire follows that coil.

The good news is these AJ-16 straight-six engines are bullet-proof, but sadly the bits that surround them are not ! One of the failure points is the plug coil over each plug. In the UK these are known as a regular failure item. Other things that fail are the crank position sensor, and the camshaft position sensor.
I assume by "alt. needle" you mean the volt meter on the dash. This could indicate the alternator is on the way out, but suggest you check voltage at the battery +ve terminal both engine stopped, and engine running. There should be around 2 volts difference.
I cannot translate the fault codes, you need someone more expert than me.

and about 13.5 volts with engine on.
