Check the PCM wiring harness and pins for the P0603 code. Have you recently disconnected your batteries?

I would ignore the p0401 and the p0603 if your only concern is running rough. P0278 is your culprit, that is a contribution/balance code for #6 cylinder(3rd cyl back of driver side). Assuming you don't have a mechanical fault(unlikely) or a wiring issue to that individual injector(also unlikely), I would replace the injector.

My $$'s would be on jboczar (usually is) w/ injector 6. I would still check the PCM wiring.
