Default Ej7 Vtec cannot Starts

Hi there,
I have a Honda Civic 97 Ej7. The car have a problem of starting.
The starter sounds ok.
But the engine isn't fire enough to start. The engine vibrate as it gonna start.But it wouldn't.
I have made a jumpstart, and it can start smoothly. It only can start by jumpstarted.
I did change my battery after that,but it seems that it won't fix the problem.
What should i do?

Is it caused by alternator?
if alternator, my car might stop anytime, when i didn't press the gas.
but, in this problem, the car move fine when it started.
But the engine will vibrated, like loss off power a little bit when i open an Aircond
when the car at static motion.

I've already checked my Fuses, both main and ignition coil fuses, it has its continuity and looks fine as there are no burnt mark and the relay still in connection. I tried to whack the relay .. but still nothing happens.

Ill, try to check for the alternator.. tq
hmmm,What might be the problem?
