Help!? Went to start car, turns over but it won't "catch".
Turns over strong, battery strong, all lights work.
Worked 3 hours ago when I parked it. Starter runs and runs and runs but it seems like it may not be getting any fuel.
Can anyone tell me which relay is the fuel pump relay?
Am I screwed?

You can order it online.... but otherwise, Audi VW, I'd guess. Maybe NAPA.

For a 1991 Audi 90, this is the right one. Can't tell from your pic if you have a B3 or B4.

Could be the starter or the ignition switch.
I had the same problem with my CQ and S6.
The fix on the CQ was the starter. Turns out that there is a minimum cranking speed before the ignition system will fire. My old starter couldn't spin the engine fast engough despite a good battery. The bad starter didn't seem to be bad and was only a bit slower than the new one.
On my S6 it was the ignition switch. Sometimes it would start when I turned the key and sometimes not. When it wouldn't start the lights on the dash didn't come on and when it would start the lights would come on when I turned the key.
