89 4 banger will not start

[Claymadry]

can't hear the fuel pump and can't find the resistor where do i start?

The ballast resistor is usually located somewhere along the inner fender, on driver's side of the engine compartment. I don't know if the four-cyl would have had one, but the 4.0's looks like this:

The 4cyl didn't come with ballast resistors...

Best way to check if your pumping fuel is disconnect one hose from the fuel filter and see if any comes out. If not its your fuel pump, but if your getting fuel check for spark...

An '89 used throttle body injection, which isn't all that different from a carburetor (to the engine). To verify that fuel is the problem, just dribble some gasoline into the throttle body and see if it starts. It won't run, of course, but it should fire and start.

It does fire up with starting fluid I'm trying to figure out where the fuse is for the pump

You sure the pump didn't just die?  Test for power at the plug under the truck.  You'll need a buddy to try to crank it while you have your multimeter leads on the plug.  If you see the voltage jump up to 12V, then you're getting power to the pump.

Or just hotwire the fuel pump and see if it runs.
