Carburetor Problems of Chevrolet S10

I have a 2000 chevy s-10, 4. 3 liter with 69300 miles on it. The engine on this vehicle does not want to turn over and run. I 've had this happen on 5 occasions within the past month. I know it is a gas problem getting to the carburetor since I have splashed a little gas or starting fluid in the carburetor to see if the engine will fire up. The engine does start but shuts down because of a lack of fuel to keep it running. I have replace fuel filter 2 times, map sensor and have recently read that gm used a sock strainer on the fuel pump that tends to get clogged up. I also understand that gm has resolved this problem with a different style of strainer. I am very concerned about this since the last time my engine failed I was driving on a busy cleveland, ohio interstate (I-77 by pershing Ave exit ramp). I was able to get the vehicle restarted after several attempts to turn the engine over. I have seen cars on the side of the interstate get hit and concerned for my own safety and health if this should occur again. I believe since gm has and has knowledge of this defect on their part that they should recall all vehicles that use or used this type of strainer on the fuel pump unit. It is just a matter of time before someone is killed because of this irresponsible action on gm to havethe vehicles that are on the road with the problem fuel pump stainer.

2001 Chevrolet S10. The consumer stated the throttle posted open while driving and the vehicle accelerated. This happened twice within a five minute period. The first time he thought the cruise control was stuck and pressed the accelerator. Then turned the vehicle off. The second time he did the same thing. The consumer stated there was a loose restrictive plate in the carburetor, he took the plate off. Since the plate was removed, and the problem has not occurred again. He had not taken the vehicle to the dealership, because he did not agree with dealer's pricing. He called gm to see if they would pay for the repairs.
