Good evening,
The 128 is for the thermostat. It looks like it may be stuck open not allow the engine temperature to reach normal operating temperature. I would replace the thermostat.

The 300 is for a misfire. The most common cause is low fuel pressure from a bad fuel pump. I would check the actual pressure to be sure it is working correctly. I attached guides for you to follow as well. You can rent a tester at a parts store.
Fuel System Pressure
Key On Engine Off 53-59 PSI.

The 440 is for the canister vent valve in the emissions. It is stuck open causing a large leak. I posted the location and procedure below.
I attached the procedures below for you. of the fuel pump and thermostat.
