it's the TRIM package. Interior and exterior colors/upholstery/accents/trim. Different packages also came with different options - full guages, a/c, roof rack, LSD, etc.
The sport always (unless changed by the buyer) came with the 4.0L engine, side door trim, a two tone paint job, and alloy wheels [dependent on year]
Using a 1995 as an example:

Hi, new here and I own a 97 Jeep Cherokee 4.0 liter straight six with 143,000 miles on it. I just got finished with replacing the exhaust manifold. All the electrical, vacuum, fuel lines are in place and I tuned up the engine, plugs , wires, rotor, rotor cap, air filter, oil, and oil filter.
Now, from the first time I started it up it ran great just like a tune-up and exhaust repair would, except that *Check Engine* light is staying on. So I go take it for a spin and after a mile or so all the fuel injectors "at once" started to cut on and off so bad that I could hardly maintain enough speed to get home.
I went over every thing on the engine and everything is plugged back in from the exhaust repair and the injectors all still cut on and off and the *Check Engine* light stays on. The wierd thing is, is that while the injectors are firing the engine is perfect. I do not have a code scanner and I am afraid to try and drive to the auto store.
Would any of you more enlightened Cherokee Techs know what may be causing this or should I ups in a code scanner. Thanks for any help.

I would try the key trick before you reset the computer so you can see what codes its spitting out before you clear them away! Just a thought.
