Can you provide more details about the system? What is the OS and what are the disk systems involved?

I would start with sar -d, this will let you know which disk is having a problem(if it is a disk, which is usually the case with heavy IOWAIT).

Based on what is stored on that disk you can probably start tracking down any applications what would access it.
