Stalls after getting to operating temp

My Acura Tls 3.2 has 220,000 miles I keep maint. on it synthetics and everything made for it. is a 2002 though. Very clean runs great but now when gets to warm operating temp it stalls. Sounds like dirty injectors. Former owner ran low octane I run 93 octane in it. Waiting for it to totally cool now to take it around the corner ( 1 mile) to a pro mech shop to fix injectors? No dummy lights at all. Sound like dirty injectors or bad O ring to yall?
Thanks

I was getting ready to do the plugs and wires have not had a chance. I cleaned the filter one year ago so sure it needs it. I do know that it says to burn 91 octane in it and the car has 220,000 miles and the former owner kept the car up well but they did tell me they only ran 87 octane in it. Once it gets warm not over heat just warm I`ll come to a light and it wants to die. Once it cools it will fire up smooth, drives well too. I am just thinking maybe O ring on an injector and dirty injectors. I run 93 octane in it.
