The check valve prevents fuel from draining back into the tank so your
Jeep will start easier and there is less chance of air problems (stammering,
stuttering) when it's started. The check valve is easy to test with a simple
pressure gauge on the rail. Either it holds about 32psi for half an hour
or it drops to zero quickly)

Possibly, don't discout the coil or other issues, check fuel pressure
and flow.

Correct. You found it.

Before you go ripping things apart, check the fuel pressure and flow rate.

The fuel pressure can also drop quickly if the regulator is bad.
You check the regulator by hooking up a fuel pressure gauge, starting the
engine (32 psi should show) then pull the vac line from the regulator
(located on the front of the fuel rail). Pressure should go up a few pounds.

Yep, and if that gas is squirting out with the ignition off, you don't
have a check valve problem!

Doug had the best advice: check the fuel pressure. A guage is
something like $15 and will answer a lot of questions real fast.
