Urgent help

Hi guys, I have a c5 2003 manual shift corvette and have backed it outside to wash. I attempted to drive it back in the garage but it keeps shutting off after I pull a few inches ahead. I need to push it back in but when I tried to push it ( I had 3 people help including me) it wouldn't move more than rock back and forth. I had it in neutral and the parking brake off. Does it have some kind of auto brake I need to turn off? Help!

Did it say "pull key, wait 10 seconds" or something of that sort on the dash?

Possibly fuel shut off.

I am wondering if a parking brake is stuck. It should be able to be pushed in Neutral.

Jack up the rear and see if you can rotate the rear tires in Neutral.

Could also be a stuck brake pad/caliper somewhere. If the rear tires rotate so the same thing with the front tires in the air.

I dont think he is talking about that...

OP what codes do you have on the DIC? Possible rotor locked up? Have you started the car?
