Car idle rough

My car was doing fine. I used a garden leave blower to clean out the leaves and dust in the engine compartment. Nothing drastic. That's what I thought. When I started the car up. It idles really rough and I decided to take it for a spin. The car fell like misfire. Came back to the garage and looked at the engine while running. It's shaking more than normal. By accident and some luck I shake one of the fuel Injectors in the back. The car smooth out imediately. I did not twist or pull on it. Just hold it by the rubber cap and lightly shake it. That how I fixed the rough idle problem. I can repeat it with two of the fuel injectors on the side close to the fire wall. All others 4 will not affect the idling. So the two in the back can be shaken and will make the car rough idle and shake it some more will fix it. I did not want to take it out since I might screw it up.

I notice the rubber cover the fuel injectors are crack showing the red wires inside. But all of my injectors' rubber caps are torn showing the wires.
Do I need to take it out and re-tighten it or I have to buy fuel injectors?
