Occasionally car would not startup in morning. It would not start right up and have to give many tries. I noticed it happens on rainy days or if I do not use the car for 2 days or so. Please advise(99 VW Jetta)

Ignition coil.
Does the car then run rough for a while after then starting? I would look for arcing coil pack and/or spark plug wires. A foggy night would show that, or a spray mister could help troubleshoot. The moisture would make the leakage worse.
As the others have said. Typical ignition system problem wires and coil would be my first guess.
If it's a VR6, and you see the coil pack is cracked, you might be able to fix it. Dry thoroughly first.

Once the car startup it runs great no problem. It would not happen every day, once a week I face this problem
I think some how moisture is causing the problem because it happens on rainy days or if I do not use car for 2 days or so. Thanks all
