Starting cold but stalling when warm could likely be low compression. Always good to test so you know the health of your engine.

Need a bit more information.

Look at the stickied threads for general info

Often warm difficulties are compression related.... but can be fuel or ignition related as well... bad CAT can cause issues as well when its warm.
Does it restart OK? Or does it struggle to start when warm?

Sounds like possible low compression especially since it does run and has no codes. Would want to look into a compression test. Make sure they know how to do it.
