weeeeelllllll...... you fix vacuum leaks by replacing the hoses..... there are MANY hoses, check the FSM (Factory Service Manual) for a diagram, there is one in the stickies to get. To FIND a vac leak is quite tricky, and may take some time and a LOT of patience! One way is to get some carbuerator cleaner, and with the car running start spraying around the vacuum lines. Don't go too crazy, remember the stuff is flammable (kinda the point here). If the car starts to rev up a little as you are spraying then BINGO that line has got a leak.
BUT... to the OP, it seems odd to me that the car starts and idles fine till warm up and THEN starts to stall. If the vac leaks were bad enough to stop the car from running, then I would assume that they would also kill it before it got warmed up. Wait till somebody more enlightened than I chimes in......

the reason it wouldnt do it when it was warming up is because of the AWS (accelerated warm up system) That makes the car idle higher until it gets warm to heat the cats quicker.
I also recommend you adjust your TPS, it never hurts. you will also need a buddy though because you have to do it when the car is warmed up. The instructions are in the FSM.

It's doubtfull that the cause is the CAS. A bad or intermittent CAS will have much more obvious causes.
