Rough Idle?

I have a 02 Grand Am GT with the 3.4 and 50k miles. I just changed the fuel filter, air filter, spark plugs, oil, pcv, cleaned the IAC, and put a tank full of premium gas with Lucas additive. The car seems to be running better but the engine just sounds and feels like it's running rough. The car idles at 600rpm and the needle doesn't move at all. I think my next step is the clean the MAF sensor. I was also thinking of changing the O2 sensors but those should last 100k miles and is very expensive. I guess i'm just very picky and want that thing to purr like a kitten. Any suggestions are appreciated.

Re: Rough Idle?
