Your low on coolant because it leaked out of the heater core. Do not be getting it hot, or you will have a lot more serious problems.

So,if the heater core gets fixed tomarrow and i add coolent.will the car stop getting hot?
If nothing has ben damaged from it getting hot.
Yes, assuming this is the only issue, once the heater core is replaced and the system filled back up, the engine temp should be normal.

I was hoping it was just the heater core.i think it should be good i pulled over right away after temperature was up and let it cool down.
Probably be ok then...
Be careful if it heats up again you could have a head gasket issue
