Code P0378 means, DTC P0378 Timing Reference High Resolution Signal B Intermittent/Erratic Pulses. DTC stands for Diagnostic Trouble Code. I highly doubt it has anything to do with the actual timing of the engine. Chances are there is a problem with the camshaft / crankshaft sensor (which measure engine timing). Without a scanner that shows individual sensor inputs there's no real way to know. I would try replacing the sensors (they aren't incredibly expensive), this should take care of the problem and if not the only other option is to take it into a repair facility.

Is the timing chain located behind the water pump o a 2005 saturn ion

My Data lab book on timing chain removal and installation makes no mention of removing the water pump so I would suggest that it is not a problem in the chain replacement.
