Codes seem a bit funky, could they bee P0300=random misfire, P0302=misfire cylinder 2
P2074 not found, Your last tune up was? And check fuel pressure.
Start with the basics, and work your way up, Last tune up was? Wires plugs ALL filters? If all that is ok, check for a stuck EGR, then test fuel pump pressure, If it won't restart, determine what's missing, the engine needs three things to run, Spark at all plugs, gas to all cylinders, and compression in all cylinders, tho an engine may run lacking one in one cylinder, it won't run very well!

If you could give the engine size and body style, it will help with any more questions!
