Default Why does my 'Vette run so bad???

Hello all you fellow 'Vette owners...I have a 1993 40th Anni ruby red 'Vette with only 50,000 miles on it. Lately, it hasn't been running good at all. It took a while for it to start but once it did, it ran like it was running on half it's cylinders. It was backfiring and had absolutely no power. My dash lights also flicker very fast when it's running like this. On the outside chance the dash lights don't flicker, it seems to run normally. All the fuses are good. It's like someone flicks a switch. It seems to do these things when it is warmed up. Any ideas out there as to what could be the cause?? Thanks in advance for all your knowledge & answers!
