Why do car speedometers read high?
They will read high, but it’s for a different reason. Car speedometers will always be inaccurate, because your speedometer is measuring how fast your tire rotates. Tires physically wear down over time, which makes them smaller. Smaller tires have to rotate faster to travel at the same speed.
How fast can speed cameras detect?

I have an 03 Pontiac vibe, that under the hood is more or less identical to your 03 Corolla. Sometimes the idle is higher than 2k. It has been this way since new, 150k miles ago. I encourage you not to worry, it is not an issue.
What should the idle RPM be on a car?

When does the RPM go back to normal?
The RPM will usually go back to normal as you accelerate the vehicle, but will increase again after you stop. This is definitely not a normal situation. If you are experiencing a rough idle or your RPM is running high, then there are a variety of reasons for why this could be happening.
What does it feel like when your car Idles?
When your car is experiencing a rough idle, your engine may chug, vibrate, or shake while it’s running.

When the engine idles, there will usually be a misfire that you can feel just from holding onto the steering wheel.
