My car
My car’s battery was dead. I had my neighbor helped jumping it. After that I have left my engine running.Your first sentence is fine.
In American English:
I had my neighbor help me to jump (start) it. After that I left my engine running.
In British English:
I got my neighbour to help jump start it. After that I left the engine running.
In England we would probably say 'jump start' an engine, but I think this is optional in the USA

My car battery had died (past perfect because it happened way before the previous actions) so I had (past simple)my neighbor jump start it. After that, I left the engine running. (these two actions happened close to each other) Hope that helps.
