Do you have to allow an officer of the law to search your car if you are stopped for a traffic violation?

No. Officers can only search your vehicle if 1) you consent or 2) if they have probable cause. If the officer has probable cause to search your vehicle, they generally won't ask you for permission, but will instead tell you that they are going to search your vehicle. Whether probable cause for a search exists depends on the circumstances.

Can revoking consent for an ufficer to search give a police officer an indication of probable cause to obtain a search warrant?

No. The officer would have to have other reasons than a revoked consent. Revoking a consent does not lead to the officer having a 51%/ more likely than not justification that there is evidence of a crime. There has to be other factors that play into it. And even if he does have probable cause he would need to get the warrant and then continue the seach.
