Read and post codes.

Next thing I would try is some good fuel system cleaner, add to the tank stuff. Your injectors may be dirty.

Buy good brand stuff, like Techron available at Wal-Mart.

i had the same problem on my '99 sierra -- rough idle and hard to start when warm. i replaced the o2 sensors and it ran like new.
