The BLACK / YELLOW wire that test like a starter wire on the 93 Camry is the 2nd starter wire or cold start wire right? Well does the 2nd starter wire have to be hooked up to remote start? What is its purpose? I searched and come up with a diagram for a nissan cold start and it showed a relay to keep the 2 start wires isolated. One of the wires going to the relay was a starter ground out while running. Any idea of the color and location of this wire?

"The BLACK / YELLOW wire that test like a starter wire on the 93 Camry is the 2nd starter wire or cold start wire right?"
Yes.
"Well does the 2nd starter wire have to be hooked up to remote start?"
Yes. If you don't the remote start won't work when it's cold..
"What is its purpose?"
I beleive it sends more fuel to the injectors or something when cold in order to start better but I really don't know..
"One of the wires going to the relay was a starter ground out while running. Any idea of the color and location of this wire?"
The ground out while running wire isn't a wire in the car it's a wire off of the remote start unit itself. If you specify your unit I'm sure someone could tell you what wire it is..Usually it's orange.. You definately don't need it to hook up the second starter wire if your module isn't equipped..Another option is to just tie the two starter wires together and forget about relays. I normally just tie them both together and be done with it. I've seen ONE car out of a ton of them that didn't like it and relays had to be added. Obviously relays are the "right" choice though..Good luck,
Mike

There is no 2nd starter wire on a 93 Camry. Only the newer Camry's (02+) have one.
12volts      white - WHITE/ red        +       ignition harness
Starter      BLACK/ white        +       ignition harness
Ignition      BLACK / YELLOW        +       ignition harness
Second Ignition      BLACK/ orange        +       ignition harness
Accessory      pink/blue        +       ignition harness
          Notes: Not required for remote start.
NowYaKnow's description of what the second starter wire does is accurate, it just doesn't apply to a 93 Camry.

While Im typing I Have a question that I run into alot on imports.

Lets say that the RS unit you are installing only has 1 ignition output and the car has 2, or the RS unit has 2 ign outputs and the car has 3. IF the 2nd or 3rd iginition wires in the car are very small wires could you simply let 1 ign output from the RS power a second ign wire in the car without a relay? The reason Im asking is because the very small gauge wire tells me that it is obviously only activating a relay in the car that powers up accesories so it probably has very little current draw. It just seems a waste to use up an ign output capable of a 30 amp draw on a #10 or #12 wire to power up a #22 wire thats pulls probably no more than 1 amp. I have always used relays but the more relays I have to add the more proned I am to making a birds nest.

It's best to keep all ignition wires isolated from each other regardless of the size of the wire. There's a reason why the manufacturer keeps ignition wires separate even if relays are used for them. If you run long enough wires from your relay to the ignition wires, you can tie the wires up neaty under the dash without having it look too bad.
