I think there is, because it is preventing mine from starting. I was unaware of it until I did an engine swap and now it won't start. I have been told that the anti-theft system prevents the fuel pump from supplying fuel to the engine as well as preventing spark from reaching the engine.
The grand Cherokee is a body style, sport is a trim package that is used on all jeep models(wrangler, Cherokee, grand Cherokee, patriot, ...)
My '96 Cherokee Sport does, so I bet a '98 does.
The fuel pump is in the gas tank on a 1999 jeep Cherokee sport.
Yes, they are the same vehicle, the sport is just a option package.
1996-2000 Cherokee.
The heat shields on the Cherokee models are needed. The floor pans in the Cherokee models are thin and are penetrated by heat very easily. If you have driven one much, you will notice that the drivers and passengers front floor pans get quite warm from the engine heat. This is true with the muffler also. If it is not shielded the floor will get really hot and penetrate into the cab.
