Fuel Pump testing procedure correct? B230F 200 1988

To test my fuel pump I removed the fuel pump relay and shorted the #30 and #87/2 contacts at the connector that the FPR plugs into with a paper clip. I turned the key to the on position. I did not hear the "whirring" sound I read I was supposed to hear, however the paper clip was warm. As a matter of fact, without doing this I think I used to hear a whirring sound when turning the key to the on position that I no longer hear. I'm checking this because of an intermittent stalling problem. Did I do the test correctly for my model? Will the car run if one or both of the pumps is bad or on it's way out? Thanks for any input.
