Well it's not EGR since you have an '02 - maybe the air pump is toast and/or staying on after the car is warmed up? Won't hurt to pull the AIR PUMP fuse under the hood temporarily and see if it stops. Will throw a SES for P0412 but will turn back off after replacing the fuse and a couple cold starts. Pulley belt tensioner is another possibility.

It may be a clogged PCV valve, my 02 was doing the same thing. Next time it does it, pull over to a safe spot, pop the hood and pull the dipstick out to see if its quits.
