Same problem here since 2010 please see this web site for the problem on many 98 Camrys built before Feb 28 of 1998 when Toyota fixed the problem with improved part (s)
Toyota lost a suit filed by the US EPA that may cover your car. see also the link below.

Not always, but very subtle feeling car lurching when driving, especially on freeway. Then 4 times over 3 months upon starting it was almost as the battery was dead and took a few minutes to get going, but then it would not happen again for 3 weeks. Yesterday had it diagnosed cause check engine light came on and was told the ERG valve was bad and needed to be replaced. $1,020.00.

Light on and I failed the smog test even though the emissions were normal or better, but the purg valve had failed.
