Rough idle HELP

I've cleaned the IAC valve but it didn't work, where should I go next to cure the problem? Could it be the distributor cap and rotor since I'm also experiencing hard start-ups when the tank level is below 3/4. My car has 102,XXX miles, the last time I replaced the cap and rotor was 90,XXX.

I've tried swapping back to stock wires but it didn't help. Any other causes?

Hey man I just replaced my distributor cap and rotors, and also poured in a bottle of fuel injection cleaners to the fuel tank.

The rough idling is gone! You're the man
