Starting a hot Fuel Inj. engine

After doing a fair bit of searching on here and being told a number of different methods to try, I haven't come across a "works every time" method of starting hot fuel injected engines. I will be flying a Continental IO-470 Debonair and have been told by the owner to "tickle the fuel pump when it sounds like dying". Sounds very hit and miss to me!

Any helpful tips that people have discovered that work more often than not when starting a hot continental?

Cheers
