A bunch of codes!!! Totally random.

So last night, I was driving home and my check engine light came on. I took my car in today to Advanced Auto Parts so they could hook up their scan tool. Anyways, here are the codes that were detected.

P1298.
According to the OBD II Code sticky thread, it means:
"P1298 Electrical Load Detector Circuit High Input"

EDIT: I was searching online and found this:

"The ECM on a dual-mode Honda/Acura charging system also senses electrical load via the ELD sensor, a glorified shunt inside the main fuse panel in the right rear corner of the engine compartment. The ECM sends a 5-volt reference voltage to the ELD. Like all the earlier ELDs we've seen, this reference voltage wire happens to be green/red. The greater the current flow through the main fuse panel, the lower the ELD pulls this reference voltage."

I also have:

P0302 - Cylinder 2 Misfire Detected
P0303 - Cylinder 3 Misfire Detected
P0300 - Random/Multiple Cylinder Misfire Detected

I've haven't had too many issues with my car other than during the summer.

I would start my car up, back out of the driveway, put it in first gear.. and it seemed the car wasn't getting any gas.. I could put the gas pedal to the floor but the car wouldn't go anywhere.. Then after like two seconds of that, then the engine would "catch," and it would be fine for the rest of the day. I figured since I could only get it to do it one time a day, it was pointless to take it in because I would never be able to repeat the symptoms by the time I got to the dealership.

The only other issue that I can really even think of is it seems my car has been using a bit more gas but not a whole lot.. maybe a difference of 5 miles per gallon.

My car seems like it's running feels like it's running FINE.. I disconnected my battery for about twenty minutes, then reconnected and the light came right back on so I know there really is a problem. I have an appointment at Honda on Monday but I was just curious if any of you had similar issues or possibly gain some input.
