There shouldn't really be any pressure delivered to the tank at the pump. There's about a 1/8" gap between the pump and the actual opening into the gas tank, and as you're pulling the pump out of the tank, it's held open for a split second- but long enough to relieve any pressure that could build up. For that matter, any pressure on the tank is also released when you open the gas cap.
With the car having sat for 4 months before you started driving it, it could be something super simple, buildup in the lines/injectors, possibly even water in the tank/lines somewhere. Try cleaning the injectors, maybe run a little Heet through to clean them up and remove any possible water in the tank as well. Still sounds like it could be a clogged fuel filter, make sure to check that out too, as they're stupidly cheap.
