In the 1998 Plymouth Breeze, the timing chain does not drive the water pump. Instead, the water pump is typically driven by a separate serpentine belt that is connected to the crankshaft. This setup allows the water pump to function independently of the timing chain, which is responsible for synchronizing the engine's camshaft and crankshaft.
