On my Edge Insight, they are usually what the outside temp is at startup.

There are two IAT temps so make sure you are reading IAT1 and not IAT2 . IAT1 should be fairly close to outside air temp. IAT2 is higher since it's reading inside the intake manifold.

I run a 25*F spread between IAT1/2 while using a Spearco IC.

iat1 will be hotter by a few degrees prior to start up in most cases do to the maf heater element. but should be close to outside air temp.
iat will change and will be hoter then iat1 when running. the spread will very with egr flow. this is one of the ways the pcm can tell if the egr system is working.
