I lost heat while driving this morning, the check gauges light came on and the temp was high. I turned off the heater and fan and the temp went down some and the light went off. Did I blow the heater core or do I just need antifreeze? I live in Pa and its 24 degrees now and snowing.

First check to make sure the coolant if full. Let me know what you find.

The problem ended up being the water pump. And yes I did have antifreeze in it. Cost me some to get it fixed :(
