Default over 2.5k rpm cause car to jolt back and forth

Yesterday I drove home in the rain. Parked my car, went inside then came out to my car to go to the gym. I drove to the end of my street(200 yards), if I went over 2.5k rpms in both 1&2nd gear the car would jolt forwards and the rpms would be inconsistent. I turned around and parked my car with the engine on, it didn’t sound right. When I revved the engine not in gear it felt like it was restricted and it felt like the engine shook side to side.

I turned the car off, went inside and brought my friend out to show him. I was unable to reproduce the behavior. Drive to work this morning was fine....

Car is currently at a Nissan dealership, they said they couldn’t find anything. Also there is a rough sound coming from the front left portion of the engine bay when idling.

It wasnt raining that hard.... There was just a monsoon for like 6 days last week, but I didnt drive it for two of them.

I am still wondering why it is idling like that, noise is coming from the front left.
