My wife's XJ did something similar. In our case, a new upstream O2 sensor solved the problem.
Bogged, stumbled and backfired for the first 2 minutes it was running. After that it ran smooth as butter all day.

i did replace my o2 about a month ago with a denso brand. do you recall what brand you used in your cherokee? i accidently dropped it but it seems to be working fine, but im unsure if the heater element inside might of got messed up. i need to find out how to test o2 heater only... i understand this is used during warm up period. after warm up my jeep is great!

YOu could test your IAT sensor. Worst case, remove and clean it.

OP,
It would be handy for us to known if you mention all the things you already did, BEFORE asking and getting advice. Just reading through this, with all the suggestions given, almost all your replies state that you already did them.
It brings things up to speed, if you state the problem, then what you already did in diagnostics or what you already replaced, as in tune-up, cleaned injectors, replaced O2 sensor etc etc.
So, maybe anything else you've already done, but forgot to mention?
