Can a cop search your car if you got pulled over for speeding?

Unless the officer discovered probable cause during the traffic stop (or had probable cause prior to), then no, the search was illegal. The officer would have needed to obtain probable cause to search the vehicle, in reference to Carroll v. United States. The prior answer referenced "Search Incident to Lawful Arrest" and that was incorrect. During a traffic stop for speeding, generally, no one is being arrested, and "Search Incident to Lawful Arrest" only allows the the officer to search for evidence related to the arrest, which for speeding, there wouldn't be any such evidence.

Fleeing an open warrant "flight to avoid prosecution" is similar to arrest resistance but "resisting arrest" occurs as you use force to avoid being placed under custody.Added: You NEVER have a lawful/legal "right" to "resist" police in the performance of their duty. You must submit, and if it subsequently turns out they had no lawful right to arrest you then you can bring court action against them for damages.
