Default Really need help.....

on Wednesday I had trouble starting the car, it would turn over like normal but wouldn't fire. After second or third attempt it fired and ran as normal all the way to work. At lunch time it became increasingly more difficult to start so I left it. Had my wife come to my work just in case I couldn't get it fired, did fire and got on the interstate running good until I hit 80mph and it shut down until it slowed and came back to life. No problem balance of the trip , stayed under 80. Got off the interstate and it would go down the road with no gas at 41 mph. Shift to neutral and I had increased rpm's. I never got any alarms on the DIC. I tried getting codes out of the DIC and when I turn the key to on, the normal scrolling comes up briefly then goes black. The engine will rotate but no fire. Please help. This is my first Corvette.
