When a Motorcycle Part and a Car Part Are the Same Thing
It's not common — but it happens. The LOREADA IAC Stepper Motor covering OE references W3169 and 26179 serves two very different applications: the Linhai 400 utility ATV/motorcycle and the Honda Civic CRX. These two vehicles share a compatible IAC stepper motor architecture, making this one of the more unusual cross-application parts in the EFI world. If you're sourcing for either vehicle, this is your part.
Linhai 400: Utility EFI in Demanding Conditions
The Linhai 400 is a workhorse — used in agricultural, recreational, and utility contexts where the engine may sit at idle for extended periods under load. In these conditions, IAC valve reliability is critical: a stalling or hunting idle isn't just inconvenient, it can interrupt work. The W3169 / 26179 delivers the consistent bypass airflow control the Linhai 400's EFI system needs to maintain stable idle even under sustained low-speed operation.
Honda Civic CRX: A Classic That Deserves Proper Parts
The Honda Civic CRX is a cult classic — lightweight, nimble, and still actively maintained by enthusiasts worldwide. Finding quality IAC replacement parts for older Honda EFI systems can be challenging as OEM stock dries up. LOREADA's W3169 / 26179 fills that gap, providing a properly engineered replacement that meets the original Honda EFI system's idle control requirements without resorting to worn used parts or poorly matched generics.
Key Specifications

Installation Notes
Linhai 400: The IAC valve is accessible after removing the airbox. Clean the bypass port and run the idle relearn after fitting. Honda Civic CRX: The IAC valve location varies by model year — consult the service manual for your specific CRX variant. After installation, clear any stored idle fault codes and perform a full idle relearn with the engine at operating temperature. The CRX's older ECU may require multiple warm-up cycles to fully adapt.
Why LOREADA?
LOREADA's cross-application IAC parts are validated against both vehicle platforms — not just one. The W3169 / 26179 is confirmed to meet the dimensional and electrical specifications of both the Linhai 400 and Honda Civic CRX throttle body systems, giving you confidence regardless of which application you're servicing.
