hold a piece of paper near the tailpipe to be 100% sure it is sucking, it will get sucked right to the pipe if it is.
It could be a few things some mentioned above.

If you have a valve failure then its serious... for it to be sucking in enough to be noticable means every one of your vlaves are shot.. otherwise the remaining chambers would be pushing enough to make it not noticable. My gues would be more than just one jump on timing but rather almost complete rotation of the timing.

The 84-86 XJs had a GM 2.8 v6 that was a leaky pile of crap that actually had less horsepower than the fuel injected 4 cylinder.

gonna tell you right now that injectors are not going to cause suction in the exhaust. it's a valve train issue of some kind. Sounds like your exhaust valves are not closed when the engine first starts it's intake stroke. or you're not really having suction at the exhaust.
