A no load test isn't worth much. I've done the same thing, removed a faulty fuel pump, use jumper wires from battery for voltage and ground, that little pump threw gas all over me, when I took the pump apart, this pump had brushes, they were wore down to almost nothing.

In the vehicle, if you have good votage and ground at the pump and no pump action, suspect the pump.
