There is no afs on a cherokee, they run on a map sensor.
It is located at the driver's fender side of the the throttle body.
Check the MAP sensor. To see if this is the problem, assuming that the Jeep won't start but is turning over, unplug the MAP sensor and then plug it back in. If you can start it now, the MAP sensor needs to be replaced. The MAP sensor is located in the engine compartment, where the firewall meets the body at the top of the engine compartment, on the driver's side. Good luck.
The TPS is located on the right hand side of the engine on the throttle body that has the large air intake tupe attached to in on top of the intake manifold. There are three sensors attached to the throttle body...the sensor located closest to the valve cover is the Idle Control Valve, the sensor in the middle is the TPS you want to replace, and the square plastic sensor nearest the fender is the MAP sensor. You will need a small torx bit to remove the TPS sensor. Changing it is simple and straightforward. Good Luck!
The MAP (Manifold Absolute Presssure) sensor is located under the throttle body and will have an electrical connection as well as a vacuum line going to it. If you follow the air tube from your air filter box to the top of your engine the throttle body lives under there and removing the plastic nut where the air tube terminates will allow you to see the throttle body and the other associated parts. Go to a parts store and ask to see a Map Sensor for your specific engine and you will then be able to immediately identify the thing on your engine. The exact location of the MAP sensor is slightly different depending on the engine that your Jeep has. More Detailed Question = Better Answer. I follow every question I answer so if you have a further question please ask and I'll do my best to help.

A 1998 Jeep Cherokee does not have a mass airflow sensor. It uses a manifold pressure sensor, MAP, which is on the rear of the intake manifold.
Below
The TPS is not happy with the readings from the map sensor. More than Likely you have a bad sensor.
Map sensor voltage low.
No, it uses a MAP sensor (manifold absolute pressure)
it is in the intake manifold by the throttle body and the map sensor. it is a two wire sensor
It is located at the driver's fender side of the the throttle body.
5.2 v8 is located on the front side of the trottle body just above the intake.
That year did not have a MAP sensor.
Which motor does it have? If it is the 4.7L V8, it is on the front of the upper intake manifold, behind and off to the left of the alternator.
it checks to see if you are on the road or not. No, it actually tells the computer how much air is going in, allowing it to adjust the fuel air mixture. the jeep will not run very well at all without this sensor.
