So let's get this straight...
Battery Voltage = 12V
You jump-start the engine and Battery Voltage = 6V
Engine Dies and Battery Voltage = 12V again.
Correct? If so, you have an alternator or battery issue. Probably bad diodes or a battery hooked up in the wrong polarity. There is no reason why the voltage should go DOWN when the engine is running.
